According to Pyro, pull your stick back at least 25 degrees.  Haven't had a chance to try it yet, for some reason the dl is going extreamly slow.  And I'm on cable:(

That would probably be because hundreds of people hit "download" at the same time. :)

Very clever thinking.

 No need to add a new button/key, easy to use, and practical. It's one of the most clever implementations I've ever seen in AH!

in some planes you squeeze the rudder peddals down to apply brakes.
could be a nice feature to add to the game :)
