Looks like a balloon. Its almost impossible to build such aircraft in just 230 grams without using balloon like body.

Yes, I thought it was a helium filled one.

As per my understanding the entire airplane is made up of thin depron its a custom built with lot of work to get the round curvy fuselage not easy though  ;D plus many test flights.. but the builder I dont think he has shared the build details any were on the forum

This is what  I found on the net but this is a boeing 747 build thread with a  54.5' span hope this helps
