Ok, ive done what you have asked and low and behold you are right, i landed the spit let her roll down the runway without any input from me and at 50-55kph she nose shunted the ground. i did it twice to make sure it wasnt just lucky. third attept i used the brake without elevators and it prevented it.

Best way to ensure this doesnt happen is when you hit 80-100kph pull back and apply the brakes

Yes thanks, did u also notice it wanting to tip forward? but not able to while breaking?

So now the only question is, is there a break on the flight sticks.

i did indeed see it jolt forward a little when it got to the 50kph mark while applying the brakes
