My best friend and I are having a discussion on Facebook about airplanes and I'm drawing a blank on something. He's not an airplane geek and he asked if there are any wood-winged small airplanes with a metal fuselage out there? I told him the only one that jumped to mind was the Fokker that killed Knute Rockne (and even then, I'm not all THAT certain about the construction of the fuselage of the F.10A) but that among small planes, I can't recall any that are wood winged but have a metal frame for the fuselage.

Anyone have a clue about this?

TopSpeed, you out there buddy? Your encyclopedic knowledge of every oddball design ever built is needed.
