Built of
aluminium
The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. Fabric-covered outer wings on the early ones. This is how the Ercoupe 415 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
