This is a fantastic idea. Steve Rahm is a genius.

Solid composite in the curves and sandwich in the flat sections
where you need it. Spray on gel coat. Lay up on glass so there is no need for sanding. Low cost shipping. Say what you will about the rest of the design but IMHO this is a major breakthrough in low cost aircraft fuselage construction.

With the right fasteners the same trick could be used for the wing.
Here is my idea for that. You build the core of the wing with composite
coated foam ribs one inch thick and the spar of course.

You then layup the wing skins top and bottom on large  plate window glass with foam cores where applicable on the flat parts. You then bend them over the ribs temporarily. Drill the holes for the drywall anchor screws. Temporarily install the screws. Remove the screws. Remove the skins. Coat the ribs and spars with glue and screw down the skins. I call it the drywall anchor technique or drywall anchor wing.
