Richard,

I miss your NSX avatar, much prettier than that photo of your distant cousin :-).
Speaking of the NSX, I would suggest that to be the automotive comparison to
the Kolb Slingshot.

A good wife, a good Kolb, and a good car, and I'm good to go. 
(PS: this is part of the reason why I'm a preacher of the Gospel. God's grace giving
me what I don't deserve, and His mercy sparing me from what I do deserve.
I probably know more about that than anybody!)

From: Mike Hale <halesbeer@gmail.com>

I  have just purchased a firestar two in flying
condition after working on one in my basement for 15 years.  I realized I
would
never finish it before I got too old.
It is as much fun to fly as I have imagined, particularly after adding the
vortex generators.

my  503 has a clutch in the C gearbox and a three bladed warp drive
prop.  As you know this allows the prop to freewheel when gliding and adds a
lot
of drag. also if it ever quit on me in flight an air restart would be
impossible.
are the advantages of the easier start and smoother idle worth the
tradeoff?
Thanks,

If you are expecting the air to turn your prop fast enough to restart, 
it won't do that with or without a clutch, but you can add a starter and 
start it anywhere.
