Hello. In a next insanity move i want to compare rag and tube fuselage with composite non-load bearing shell to fully composite.

But for a low wing one.

Could others share photos/drawings of frames with weight and basic aircraft data..

Of course only two/four seaters.

Reason for all this - even for low wing bird if you have safety cell around you you have 2 meters from you last metal bulkhed to tail surfaces. Which done from metal tubes weight close to nothing.

I was able to find only this two examples, but they are far from normal class of airplanes..
