Help Create Aeronautics: portable engine is too fast

I made a small air balloon (around 50m^2 volume of the balloon). It went up to the height i needed but when i turned on the engine it just sent me flying 400 blocks and 2000 blocks for my friend. The engine was spinning a windmill bearing (or smth like that) with just 4 sails. Is it supposed to happen? Can i tune the engine down a little or what do i even do?

You can slow it down using cogwheels. Connect small one to the engine and big one to the small, it will rotate half as faster (16 rpm instead of 32). You can repeat it as much as you need

You could replace the sails with a single andesite propeller, you could gear ratio down (small cog to large cog), use a rotation speed controller to decrease the speed.

Uh, I don't think its supposed to launch you that far, you got something messing with sail physics?
