 John  D. Voss  , CA |  The -3 variant of the SO3C was an attempt to improve performance by installing an uprated Ranger V-770-8 vs. the original -6 engine.Performance was still disappointing and production of the Seagull was finally terminated.    03/24/2006 @ 12:42 [ref: 12903] |  
 Andy  , CA |  Fairey had some pretty ugly airplanes, but the SO3C has to be one of the ugliest airplanes of all time.  In my humble opinion.   01/15/2005 @ 02:12 [ref: 9147] |
