It's going to need a starter; diesels are hard to hand prop. And the
engine is not likely designed to handle thrust and gyroscopic loads.

Many auto engine cranks have done well with these loads, and no extra help.

Name 'em and define what you mean by 'no extra help'?

and need for a well-supported prop shaft, a nose-piece casting with
bearings and a prop shaft will be needed.

Not a given, IMHO.

YES.... 'a given' or something very close to one for safety sake.

Wait until it is being used, and see how well it does, is my opinion. It
will let us know, by how it does after it has been eXperimented with, I
believe. You may be surprised. I might be, too. Until then, keep an open
mind.

Aw phoof!

A promising answer or solution is always just around the corner.
In the meantime, I guess you can fly around in a baloon filled with
the hot air generated here!
