I know not a lot about the prop system on the Electra but what I do know is that my old company hired a lot of ex-Atlantic pilots from the DC-3 right up to the L-188.
Without exception, they were all bl**dy good aviators and all of them, without exception, went on to have good careers in aviation. Most of them are now TRI/TREs for major airlines.
If my arse was ever on fire, I would like to have a product of Coventry sitting beside me!
