steel tube and fabric
The fuselage is a welded steel-tube frame covered in fabric, with metal or wooden wing spars under fabric-covered wings; the fabric is replaced every few decades. This is how the Piper PA-18 Super Cub family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
