Default RE: Extra 300S Can't get it to roll fast, help plz

Well I had to camp tjis weekend with my wife and son. Was sunny all weekend till I got home. It is pouring out, uughhh!!! Really was looking forward to figuring out this roll problem. I am running a os91 max 2 stroke on the plane. witha 15x4 prop.
The plane weighs in a hair under 7 lbs. 6lbs 14.7 ozs. exactly. Without fuel.
Praying that it clears this evening as I am 5 minutes from my field.
I got bit in the knuckle by the prop at full throttle to the other day. Stitches, but only 4. Never got bit by a heli and will never get bit by a plane again either.
I get a bad feeling in me when people call these things toys. Geesh I am lucky my finger is still there! I was concsious of the prop and thought I was far enough out as I was moving to the highspeed needle adjustment wire and just knicked my bent pointer finger knuckle.
I think I will be putting a thin stripe of tracking tape on each end of my props.
