I think any 'flywheel' effect is more from the forward motion of the cycle rather than the weight of the wheel - i.e. forward motion drives the rear wheel which drives the chain which drives the pedals. I don't think the weight of the wheel would make any noticeable difference (since it weighs sub 2kg).
Not a dig at you Graeme, just thinking aloud!
I've also got a kickshift wheel coming for my bike - its arriving monday and I'm like a kid on christmas eve
