Bamboo airplanes aside (April 1st thread), does anyone know of any attempts to build homebuilt aircraft using geodetic (or geodesic or basketweave or whatever) construction using something other than wood such as metal or composite strips or tubes? Not the Vickers Wellington approach with hundreds of custom-formed segments, I mean the simple wrap-crisscrossing-strips-over-bulkheads-and-molds type of construction. I know that this has been mentioned in other threads in theory, but I am looking for a real-world examples. Thanks!
