A welded steel-tube frame carries the loads, with aluminium (and some fibreglass) skins over it. Steel-tube fuselage under fabric, aluminium wings. This is how the Schweizer SGU 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.
