So if I understand this correctly, if I played an hour and a half long
game I would have to reset each side's clock because a flag
would fall after 1 hour. Assumedly 1 hour being the maximum time that
can be set before a flag falls.

The first flag fall would be after 30 minutes, but it is to be ignored.
For instance, if both clocks started at 4:30 (the normal setting for
this time control), the clocks simply pass through 5:00 (when the
falling of flags is to be ignored c.q. not to be controlled) and
continue their way towards 6:00, where the time control occurs.

So to play a 1:30 game I would set an hour long game, a flag would
fall, then I would set a 1/2 hour long continuation of the game
for the player who's flag fell, then set 1/2 hour plus the time that
was remaining on the opponents side of the clock so the
opponent receives credit for unplayed minutes from the 1st hour.

No. See above.

As far as controls on the back of a clock should I assume: spring
winder, hour hand control, something to stop both clocks time?
The controls on the top I understand.

Both clocks are stopped by the buttons at the top: you push them halfway
down, until you see that neither of the clocks are running.

Thanks for your answers they have been very helpful, -matt

Happy to help ;-)
