- 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 Mite: an all-wood single-seater under fabric. This is how the Mooney M-18 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
