Default Skycatcher IFR?

Almost entirely. Some of the control surfaces are fabric covered on the
older models and parts of the cowling have some composites. The rest is
aluminum.

Is the Tecnam all aluminum? I'd be worried about a composite airplane
taking a lightning hit if it doesn't have the embedded metal mesh, etc.
