steel tube and aluminium
A welded steel-tube frame carries the loads, with aluminium (and some fibreglass) skins over it. The 2-33 trainer: steel-tube fuselage under fabric, aluminium wings. This is how the Schweizer SGS 2 gliders (2-33 and 2-32) family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
