I would go with MJ on this. The helicopter analogy is a bit extreme but is perfectly relevant. When the prop is rotating, by & large it is generating an even load on both sides of the disc.
Pulling/pushing on one side static is a completely different can of worms, even for a skinny girl.
Who was it said "Give me a lever long enough & a place to stand & I will move the world"?
I, at 75kg, can easily lift one side of a two ton machine tool with a 6ft crowbar. Does that mean I can apply 1/2 ton side load to a prop hub with a blade length of 3ft?
Stay in the middle no problem.
