I am currious why you douldn't want the motor to freewheel during flight, I hear that can help extend flight times....
That would be great if it would actually work. But you can't get something for nothing. To extend the flight time the prop has to actually be pulling the plane, and that requires that power be applied to the motor which will spin the prop which will pull the plane. When the prop is freewheeling it is just obeying Newton's third law!!!
