The four-seat, single-engine Morane-Saulnier Rally is a small aircraft . The cantilever all - metal low- wing aircraft is mainly used as a tow plane for tow banners and gliders .
The aircraft was built in different versions (MS.880, 881, 883, 885, 890, 892, 893, 894), which are mainly characterized by a different engine (most powerful engine: Lycoming O-540-B2B5 with 235 hp) and differentiate possible payload. As a STOL aircraft, it has highly effective landing flaps and automatic, aerodynamically controlled slats , which also have advantages in terms of minimum speed compared to aircraft without slats.
The first flight of the Morane-Saulnier MS.880 took place on June 9, 1959. After Morane-Saulnier went bankrupt in 1963, the rally was built by the successor company SEEMS, which in turn was replaced by GEMS in 1965. Finally, in 1966, the company was incorporated into Sud Aviation and was called SOCATA from then on ; most of the rallies were made by SOCATA.
The Polish license builds PZL -110 Koliber I (126 HP PZL-Franklin) and Koliber 150 (150 HP Lycoming) are slightly more powerful than the MS.880B .
In France around 3,300 machines of the rally series were built, in Poland at least 112 under license.
