looked around on the Internet and found Zivko's Leo Loudenslager
"Shark" plane's fuselage was constructed from carbon fiber tubes bonded to titanium clusters with mag-alloy side fairings. Empty weight 950 lbs with a Lycoming IO-540 engine. More information and background story at http://www.zivko.com/EDGE/news/leo.html There's a video clip for download at the bottom of the page. See how the control surfaces move!!! Also a close-up look at the carbon fiber tube fuselage. Impressive. Can't wait for its flight.
