Default this cub doesnt slow down,

i bought a used cub at a few a month or so ago, for 200bucks, hanger 9 piper, 81 inch wing span i think, came with radio, battery, and engine, supertiger 61.

my only complaint is this thing flys forever, yesterday at the flying feild i went off the end of the runway barley or allmost did about 4 times, somehow each time ending up nose down in the ground, just barley, and finaly, broke the prop, that was one hell of a wood prop.
i put the throttle to idle for a long ways, and it still comes in somewhat fast.
i dont have a computer radio so i cant mix flaporions into it, allthough soon i will.

the prop i had on it was a 13X6, for some reasion its sold out everywhere so i went with a 12X5, is this to small of a prop? i couldnt find a 14 near a 5 pitch. not at my lhs anyways.

anyideas on slowing this big bird down would be great.
