So there was a RPM restriction on the Electra?
What do you recall? Didn't a constant speed prop pretty much bypass it?


The Electra (L-188) engine (Allison) always turned at 1061 RPM except at
ground idle. It had no Prop Control.


So, fixing the mounts and stiffening the wings was the only thing that was
changed; no different operating procedures?
