Default this cub doesnt slow down,

In that case, the flat pitch of the 14x4 is what you want if it allows ground clearance. It will be an airbrake at idle.

I had a similar problem with the TF Cessna. It had a ST .91 in it. One solution was to use 50 deg of flaps. THe other was to select a flatter pitch prop to help bring it down. Now I can land it on those days when it's too windy for a full flap approach.
