My prop is a 52.5" diameter because it's a cut down 54" that I got a deal on from Steve Makish because his Corvair couldn't turn it fast enough. Mine may not either, but I have no doubt I can fly behind it, just not as fast as I want to, maybe. I'd always figured on either a 54" or 52", since I'm going to turn it pretty fast.
