I can give you real info on the free wheeling prop.. cuts the glide ratio to that
of an anvil. The easier cold starts, warm up and idle make it worth the trade
off to me.
I can turn the idle down on mine till she dies. Stock jetting rotax calls for.
I have mine set to idle at 1600- 1650 and she is smooth smooth.

Is there any way to "back up" a Hobbs meter. Mine runs whenever the master switch
is on, and I forgot to turn it off after checking a few things the other day.
It racked up about 20 hours that the engine wasn't really running.
Since that is about 10% of the total time on the plane, I would rather not leave
it that way.
I don't think that there is a way to reverse it, but if there is, someone here
will know how.

What most rental airplanes have is an oil pressure activated switch in
series with the Hobbs meter voltage supply. If your oil pressure
sending unit has 12 VDC on it while the engine is running and drops to
nothing when the engine is stopped, power your Hobbs meter from it. In
other words, the Hobbs meter don't run if the engine does not have
operating oil pressure, therefore if the engine is not running, no Hobbs
meter running.

No way I know of to reverse the meter but before you start your engine again
log the master on.

How about running your engine for the next 20 hours with the Hobbs
unplugged? It's your airplane, it's legal to do that. Use your watch
(digital with timers) to keep track of the hours instead, and after 20 hours
plug it back in.
Sometimes the simple solutions are the easiest...

Yea, that's what I thought that I would do. That would get it back in sync, and
that is what I really want.
thanks.
