aluminium
The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. A kit, built by its owner or by the factory as a light sport aircraft. This is how the Van's Aircraft RV-12 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
