Built of
steel tube and fabric
The 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 Champs; metal spars since the 1990s rebuilds. This is how the Aeronca 7 Champion (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 N308ED, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Stevens Mike, a co-owned, certificate issued August 15, 2020, expires August 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 12, 2011, 65 years after the 1946 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 7AC2952 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N308ED was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Dearwent James E KIS TR-1C (serial 69, cancelled October 30, 2002). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
