- 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 Cruisair and Cruisemaster: wooden wings under fabric. This is how the Bellanca 14 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 2008 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4974A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Wilson Gary E QUICKIE (serial 3632, cancelled date not given). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
1 NTSB record under N4974A: Accident on November 13, 1985 at Paris, TN: minor injuries, destroyed. Details below. [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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
