William:

What the hey, so long as they used Sig balsa nothing else matters does it? I wonder if the whole airplane would have fallen apart if just one sheet of Midwest balsa got stuck in somewhere?

Haw.

Glad you appreciate the Electra site.

I was surprised to find that only 170 Electras were built, but as I said the P-3 was a development, and Lockheed built more than 700 of the Orion variant.

Bill.
