Yes Mike but you can hardly call that a tourer Nobody denies that a lightweight plane can be built using WW1 technology. But you still end up with a very basic construction. Flying along and you feel the cold draught going up your leg from some orifice somewhere... Anybody can do 750kg or less if they make such compromises.
Not everyone's idea of touring is like ours where we get a kick out of the compex planning and high speed. I know you don't seem to understand this but to some people touring is about the journey not about spending 7hrs at 18,000ft with a cannula up your nose and a juice bottle to pee in just so you don't have to stop somewhere en route.......
