- 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 ones; metal spars on later production. This is how the Champion 7 Citabria and 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 N7503F, 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 Patton David, an individual, certificate issued May 8, 2026, expires May 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 19, 1978, 9 years after the 1969 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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 714 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N7503F according to the deregistered file. [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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N7503F. 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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
