 However, SOCATA was not confident that a sufficient market for the aircraft existed, and no further production ensued.SOCATA subsequently introduced the enlarged "MS.890 Rallye Commodore" series with a heavier airframe and four seats; production and development of the MS.880 and MS.890 series continued in parallel, and the enlarged and strengthened empennage of the MS.890 was adapted to MS.880 variants using more powerful engines and those approved for spins.Also in the late 1960's, United States aviation entrepreneur Alexander Berger—whose Allied Aero Industries holding company owned the Franklin Engine Company and Jacobs Aircraft Engine Company—formed a new venture to market European light aircraft under the banner of the defunct Waco Aircraft Company.
