Good morning.
I think the idea came to many but I didn't find any discussion on the forum.
Build a classic fuselage, in tubes and canvas, but instead of using steel tubes use carbon fiber tubes.
The joints would probably be too weak to stick. But they could easily be reinforced with pieces of fabric and resin.
all of this should make it possible to obtain light and robust structures. Good sizing would allow the use of tubes for industrial uses that are very common in the automation world.
Believe something similar has already been done but with processes unsuitable for amateur construction. this would be a technique closer to wooden constructions, or welded steel, than to lamination on foam blocks.
