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. An all-wood airframe (plywood and spruce) under fabric, so the inspections are for glue joints and rot. The FAA's type certificate data sheet is the authority for any one model.
