This almost gets the parts count down to "one"
a Harbor Freight tubing roller and a set of SWAG dies
bend a tube like this
attach them together with two pieces of angle and some rivnuts (no rivet bucking needed inside a tube)
throw on a seat and motor mount (lander gear TBD) The seat mount would act like a huge gusset to alleviate some of the "Aford-A-Plane phobia".
Bending the tube would be a challenge but when it was done most of the fuselage is finished. The tail, gear and wings would be standard UL ...maybe
