- 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.

The public federal record on N4169, 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 Vietnam Aviation Veterans of Arizona, a corporation, certificate issued March 10, 2020, expires March 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate, dated June 12, 1957, consistent with the 1955 manufacture year. [1]

N4169 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Standard Aircraft Co J-1 (serial N-145, cancelled February 23, 1928). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

No NTSB investigation records located under N4169. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
