SEAGULL MODELS 1/3 Scale Morane Saulnier AI SEA358

40-60CC 103" Wingspan

1/3 Scale Morane-Saulnier AI 40-60cc – SEA 358

The Morane-Saulnier AI (MS AI) was a French parasol-wing fighter aircraft produced by Morane-Saulnier during World War I.

The MS AI was the first aircraft to be fitted with a fixed forward firing machine gun, the world's first fighter, which fired the weapon through the arc of the propeller. It was also one of the world's first bombers During the first half of 1917, Robert and Leon Morane, and Raymond Saulnier presented their newest fighter aircraft, the Morane Saulnier AI to the French military for review. It was favorably accepted by the French, and as many as 1,210 were produced. It entered service early in 1918 and the new fighter was popular with its pilots, who liked its speed and maneuverability Despite the fact that the Morane’s flight characteristics were well liked by many pilots, the duration of its active combat service was limited to a mere three months. It was withdrawn from combat as a result of unproven but alleged structural failures and reliability problems with the 160 hp Gnome engine. Many remaining aircraft of this type were refitted with smaller, more reliable powerplants and used as advanced trainers for the duration of the war, and post WWI as well.

Famed aviator Charles Nungesser was known to demonstrate his aerobatic skills to the public with his own personal M.S. AI after the war. In 1919, Lt. Temple Joyce became the world’s champion “looper”, completing 300 consecutive loops with his AI. One year later the record was raised to 1,111 consecutive loops performed by Alfred Fronval in his AI. Successful exhibition flying of this type seems to contradict the question of the aircraft’s lack of structural integrity and raise to question just what caused its early issues and true departure from combat duty. The MS AI was used in large numbers by the French. Fifty one were purchased by the US Air Service in France, and were used at their training base at Issoudun. After the war three were sold to Belgium, while single aircraft went to Japan, Switzerland and the Soviet Union.

Well, if it’s as nice as the photos shown.....I’m in! Are there any recommendations on a 4 stroke gasser? A Saito 3 cyl gasser would be ideal, except for the price ��.
TIA

Great plane in theory. Seagull sure knows how to ruin an airplane.

Are you willing to explain your poor experience with Seagull models?

Who likes pre-ordering planes? I personally will not especially when ‘expected ship date’ is a best guess.

Also why have in an ‘in stock’ filter when it includes pre-order items? Just add a ‘pre-order’ filter. These changes will make purchasing easier and the ‘pre-order’ filter will show you’re trying. Don’t be afraid to show a dismal inventory because it’s not your fault. Honesty is the best policy.

This was introduced 3 and a half years ago.

Does that help clear it up?
