"Bob Moore" wrote in message 46.128... Morgans wrote 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? -- Jim in NC
