 Ken, If you must low idle I believe you're right, the flywheel is worth it.
 The most successful subaru conversion,
 (eggenfelner's), runs a standard flywheel WITH a bushing drive as
well I think. Bill Jepson

   It may be why I had the first failure at such low hrs as I did 6
hrs of taxi testing on the coot before I flew it for the fist time.
   I talked to Enggenfelner before I started started building my first
redrive and he said that he thought that no engine should run without
a flywheel.
