- steel tube and fabricThe fuselage is a welded steel-tube frame covered in fabric, with metal or wooden wing spars under fabric-covered wings; the fabric is replaced every few decades. Wooden wing spars on older ones; metal spars on later production. This is how the Champion 7 Citabria and Champ family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N118CB, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Valid registration to N118Cb LLC, an LLC, certificate issued November 13, 2021, expires November 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 16, 1995, 26 years after the 1969 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 202 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N118CB was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech V35A (serial D8983, cancelled December 16, 1991); Helio H-295 (serial 1415, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
1 NTSB record under N118CB: Accident on July 24, 1991 at Jonesville, VA: fatal, destroyed (4 fatal). Details below. [4]
