- steel tube and fabricThe 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.
