Neutral is not a good idea! The prop will free wheel which will create drag and with many transmissions, the oil pump is driven from the input shaft. Thus you have a spinning shaft without lubrication. Hirth transmissions recommend reverse. I have done this for 13 years with a Hirth transmission and a Max-Prop with no problems.
