The Model
This airplane is in 1:5 scale which makes it quite forgiving to fly with wing warping for lateral control, or it can be flown with only rudder and elevator.
It is small enough for easy transport, and once used to the rigging, easy to assemble at the airfield.
The model with floats is the Schneider Trophy version, and the floats are included in the kit.
Morane Saulnier type H
Morane Saulnier type H was designed in 1912
by the brothers Léon and Robert Morane in their
plant in Vélizy, France. It became famous in the
hands of the company pilot Roland Garros, especially after Garros' crossing the Alps and the Mediterrean Sea.
In 1913 it was equipped with floats and
participated in the first Schneider Trophy Race
for seaplanes in Monaco. The aircraft incorporated
wingwarping for lateral control and had
balanced all flying elevator and balanced rudder
but without fin. An original aircraft equipped with
le Rhone 80 hp engine, considerably more
powerful than Garros' record aircraft, is on
display in Musée de l'Air in Paris and a number of airworthy replicas exist in France and elsewhere.
