The diesel engine subject came up at the airport today. One of the guys
said that diesels put high stress on the propeller during the power
stroke.
Don't know if this is true but it is worth looking into if you are
considering using one.

Zactly opposite. The diesel power stroke is longer in duration, with a more
constant pressure, and since it is a two stroke, the pulses are closer
together.
