Socata Rallye Aircraft in Germany
Originally built by SOCATA, now part of Daher (TBM series).

Diamond Aircraft (Austrian) and German pilot population create active market for modern composite singles.
The Socata Rallye (originally Morane-Saulnier MS.880, continued by Socata) is a family of French fixed-gear light singles known for exceptional short-field/STOL performance and benign low-speed handling — the full-span leading-edge slats give the Rallye a famously docile stall and remarkable short-takeoff capability. Produced from the early 1960s through the 1990s in many variants (Rallye 100/150/180/235 and the Gaillard/Galérien/Galopin names) with engines from 100 to 235 hp, the Rallye served as a trainer, tourer, and a popular glider-tug across Europe. A distinctive, affordable classic with a loyal following, though parts and service support is European-centric.
