LOL I think you mean 'rolling resistance', Ivan. I wondered why some of my spawn experiences have the plane slowly yawing to one side - probably not modelled yet; hence the long roll-out after landing?

I think your latter comment is a contradiction though; it is the braking torque that is tipping up the plane! Probably also a pilot error; best not to apply the brakes unless you have all 3 points on the ground? I always end up on my back too!
