Materials
Early Skybirds had a roughly shaped wooden fuselage (which the builder would need to finish), with cutouts for wings and tailparts. Other "detail" parts would be wire (aircraft undercarriage), turned brass, or stamped aluminium. As the range developed, the turned and stamped parts were increasingly replaced by cast metal.
Identification
The ongoing experimentation with different techniques and component types, sometimes on a model-by-model basis, makes it difficult to come up with a universal description (for identification purposes) of what "makes" a Skybird. However, the distinctive wire wheelgear and the jointing of the wing section into the fusealage are often useful signs that a plane may be a Skybird model.
