Can anyone tell me what function this red pull/Push button has. (Propellor setting?)
I don't think it's the main contact.
I think that's the switch behind the red cover.

It's general contact, confirmed by 2 former Rallye pilots. I've no idea why it's a push/pull button.

A : Contact général (General contact)
B : Coupure excitation alternateur (alternator excitation cut-off)

More data, this handle has 2 positions, fully pulled (general contact on) and fully pushed (or smashed in case of emergency) : contact off

Hi Thierry,

That makes sense, thanks for making it clearer.

There are a lot of different positions for antennas.
Photos:
http://www.retroplane.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3190
http://www.pictaero.com/fr/pictures/picture,298692
- Some are on the Apex of the fin placed laterally few centimetres after the volume occupied by the canopy when it is fully open.
- Others are in the rear part of the fuselage, set left or/and right.

Other differences between MS Rallye 893A Commodore
- There is also different type of Apex for the fin. Some are quite horizontal. http://www.pictaero.com/fr/pictures/picture,26865
- There are also many MS893A with aero-dynamic artifacts on gear legs.
- Some are fully modified for towing!

Anyway Jan has done a very good job.
You only have to make your choice to place antennas.
