You will want to slow to below 30 or so MPH if you have enough runway when applying the brakes. Also, make sure you don't have any "hold" modifier on your brake key. Play with the brakes. Toy with them. Don't be too heavy handed (or footed )or you're sure to finish up a$$ over tea kettle. In WWII pilots were trained to use as little brake as possible to avoid brake overheating and nose overs; this is a realistic aspect of the sim.

If your altitude or engine load changes appreciably, your mixture setting can now be inappropriate for your condition and can give alot of trouble. One indication of this is instruments suddenly getting bouncy, or untoward noises from the plane. Keep an eye on your exhaust flames. They should be a pretty blue at all stacks. If they aren't, lean or richen to taste. Also if you have a closed radiator and your motor overheats, you will see alot of yellow flame from one or more exhaust stacks. This typically means you have cooked your engine and need to land to repair it. All of these phenomena are accompanied by sounds; use your ears and eyes to monitor your motor and you will stay out of most trouble.
I hope this helps.
