Not true at all.

It happens that I know this helicopter and its successor (in three variants distinguished by its manufacturer - Masquito Aircraft), and on top of that I am friends with one of the project founders. But there is more - It also happens that on my eyes its successor (the M80) was being dismantled, most likely for the last time - I didn't hear anything since, that someone at least put it together to be on some display or something.

M58 had metal frame:

The next one - M80 had engine which started as Jabiru flat-four engine - so it is clear indication that you see M80 - but which variant/stage, it is more complex.

Attached is original Masquito brochure which points prototypes.

I do have couple of hundreds of pictures of M80 on its final times. Here is one, when it arrived to its dismantling place on August 22nd, 2013:
