- Built of
- steel tube, wood and fabricA welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings, all covered in fabric: the construction of the 1930s and 1940s, which makes wood rot and fabric age the inspection items. The Viking's wings are wood, which is why its inspections matter. This is how the Bellanca 17 Viking family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
