SOCATA RALLYE 100 T AEROPLANE
The 100 T is a four seater and is capable of air acrobatics
This light aircraft is being sold on behalf of a friend alan and of such all offers and talks will be subject to alans aproval.
The aircraft is a running plane that needs either re commissioning and making air worthy to the required air standards C of A
The aircraft is a lovely looking thing and doesn't need a huge amount of work to get it air worthy again, but the costs I am not sure of so the plane is being sold as a project
If the costs look to be very very expensive then this plane could be the ultimate piece of garden art with a running engine .

The SOCATA Rallye is a single-engined, low-wing monoplane light aircraft, capable of STOL (short takeoff and landing) performance. While not considered to be a highly aesthetic vehicle, the Rallye is considered to be sound and functional aircraft; efforts were made upon later-built aircraft to improve the type's visual appeal and to clean up the exterior.[13] Composed of all metal construction, it is typically outfitted with a fixed tricycle landing gear, complete with an offset free-castering nosewheel and relatively closely spaced main gear;[14][3] however, an alternative landing gear configuration is used upon the 235 C model, which was provisioned with fixed tailwheel landing gear instead. Unusually, the landing gear of the Rallye is articulated in order to better withstand the sharp forces that are imposed during STOL landings.[3] Flying Magazine noted that the Rallya is "a very nice-landing aircraft".[15]
The Rallye is equipped with a cantilever wing, which incorporated interconnected full-span automatic leading edge slats, wide-chord slotted ailerons, and wide-span Fowler-type trailing edge flaps. The combination of full-span slats and large Fowler flaps provided the aircraft with its capable slow-speed flight performance.[4] Fuel is also internally carried within the wings.[16] According to Flying Magazine, the Rallye possessed a generous degree of controllability and was relatively forgiving to fly, being extremely difficult to mishandle to the point where effective control of the aircraft would be lost.[3] The aircraft is safe to fly at practically any piloting skill level. While the Rallye has fair manoeuvrability, such as during loops and rolls, the execution of aerobatic maneuvers is not officially approved by the manufacturer.[17]
The aircraft's power was provided from one of a range of progressively more powerful air-cooled engines; such as the early Rallye Cub model, which was powered by a single Continental O-200-A engine, capable of generating up to 100 hp (75 kW), while the newer Rallye 235 variant was furnished with a Lycoming O-540 engine, which provided a maximum of 235 hp (175 kW). The method for both the ignition and run-up of the engine were relatively conventional.[15] In order to achieve a substantial increase in performance, which is useful for the execution of a STOL takeoff run, weight minimisation efforts should be made, such as carrying as little fuel and payload as is reasonably possible.[15]
In-cockpit view of a Rallye, 2011
The Rallye was fitted with a bulbous cockpit, which was capable of accommodating two/three people in the basic lower-powered variants and up to four personnel within the more powerful models of the aircraft, some of which were designed to function as glider tugs and banner bearers.[18] During the 1970s, an enlarged derivative of the aircraft capable of seating up to eight people, commonly referred to as the Rallye 7, was under active development.[3] The canopy slides rearwards to provide access to and from the cockpit, aided by a step located just underneath the wing's trailing edge; on the ground. On the ground, the canopy should remain slightly open when occupied to allow for adequate airflow; in flight, the canopy can be left open at speed up to a maximum of 94 knots.[15][16]
