Being a bit of an engineer....

1. Is that claw brake where the term "Plowing the Field" came from?

OR

2. Was it an emergency stop, incase you ran out of field, applied the brake the aircraft tipped on its nose thus stopping the plane with the prop and if that didn't work the Top Wing?

OR

3. Comic relief.

Tongue firmly in Cheek,
Captn Tommy
