Since when?? All the Glasairs I have seen have all-composite fuselage,
wings, tail, with steel tube structure forward of the firewall, metal

For GlasStar with high wing, yes. But a regular low-wing Glasair has
all composite structure for the wings, fuselage, and tail. I think
it's a vinylester system instead of epoxy.
