Lindbergh fuel selector
Similar to Lindbergh The Rallye MS880 also had fuel tank switches that while posing little or no problems to regular users of the aircraft could and did present misundersandings over tank switching to some inexperienced PPLs - as proven when two barely qualified PPLs hired a Rallye from its owner at Biggin and went for an hours jolly around the Thames but suddenly had to pancake when the fan stopped turning. Their reason for the emergency landing ? Engine failure - Whereas the owner having
inspected and retrieved his plane was adamant that they had failed to
switch tanks when the one ran dry !
(Never had to worry about those problems on my 172J)
