An ultralight-style airframe: bolted aluminium tubing under sailcloth or fabric, the construction of weight-shift trikes and the lightest two-seaters.

This is how the Wing D-1 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
