Sorry for the hijack Elroy... but it will be short
DeadNutz,
My father was a sheet metal man for EAL, I had the pleasure of flying in every recept ever built, up to and including the Electra.
It was an under rated bird, cause that baby could really clime, steep & quick. Attack angle was greater than a chimerical jet. Prop was the key, planetary gear, spun at a fixed rpm, the pitch determined the power.
My favorite the Connie what a flayer, the Electra a dragster.
I dislike air travel, these days, one step above a buss. If a greyhound had a bathroom, there would be no difference.. LMAO
Everything gets better with time doughnut,
Pep
