>> I wonder if on the Rotax design the slipper-clutch comes into play at
idle speeds, and if so how much power it dissipates in an effort to save
the gear-train. One reason to keep that idle speed up as previously
discussed on this forum.

Yes it does work at idle speed. Been there, done that, have shortened
prop blades and undamaged engine to prove it.
