Built of
steel tube, wood and fabric
A 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 Pitts: a welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings under fabric. This is how the Aviat Aircraft Inc S-2 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
