Don't think the Electra and C130 were designed by the same team.

Electra was by Lockheed Burbank and C130 was by Lockheed Georgia.

When I did my Electra course I was told to forget anything I knew about the C130 as they were very different airplanes, just similar powerplants. (Didn't know much about the C130 anyway)

Great aircraft though, once the whirl mode was fixed..
