I was / i am in a search for that ideal technology for one-off aircraft. To have a nice shape, low air-drag and safety. I was stumbled by this one design. Ok, wings are not that i would like to copy, but fuselage is interesting combination of welded tube fuselage with non-load bearing panels around and inside cabin + turtle deck. back-aft is covered with fabric. Same complexity level as making engine canopy.
And - more interesting - that tubes are from stainless stell, 304 grade. 33 are flying. Some as crop dusters, so loads is on high side. + taildragger. All are ok.
