The first prop I flew on N56ML was only in 50.25" diameter, previously cut down from a 52" prop. It was one of the best props I ever had, and that was on a Corvair. I'm sure 48" or 50" props were far more common on the older KRs with the short retract gear. The KR performance spreadsheet at http://www.krnet.org/kr-info.html shows at least one 50" diameter prop, so it's not unheard of...
