This system would also allow the prop to windmill without attempting

So what do we do for a flywheel?
What about it? On my old Maule, it's attached to the crank just in front of the
engine case. The prop is attached to a flange that's located several inches in
front of the flywheel. I propose to replace the flange and rigid prop mounting
with a clutch arrangement. The flywheel location and method of attachment would
not change.
