About the Socata Rallye
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.

Buying a Used Socata Rallye
When buying a Socata Rallye, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.
What to check before buying
- Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
- Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
