With the clean glide of a KR and as an alternative to belly board the question of How to get Drag on a low drag airframe. The topic of windmilling prop stirred the thought of source and the old motorcycle engine compression release valve as a means to manage that windmilling prop. So there you are on 100 mph final throttled back normally and expecting a 1,200 ft ground roll but you desire to build up the drag. So you pull the compression release cable and the Gas-stilly noise of partially combustible's eminate from the engine the propeller speeds up alot , glide slope steepens then rotation flare with substantially greater deceleration and the ground roll of 700 ft. Before to engine quits you release the compression release valve and the engine idles to a purr. Well any body out there got any constructive critisim of the idea? In the subject of safety situation a hasty go around decision would be accomadated with valve release and advanced throttle.
