Brakes will not hold
if they are new pads and have not been "burned in" --- I just replaced mine the other day and it took the "burn-in" procedure before they would hold, even at just above idle.
When I did my prop balancing a short time ago, I tied the tail down, with the ring, and also held the brakes----did the same with the -10 and -8A --- no problems.
