Dick VanGrunsven is responsible for the most populous homebuilt airplane of all, the RV-3. Five years ago, Van’s Aircraft enthusiast Paul Dye found the RV-3’s forerunner – a heavily modified Stits Playboy that became VanGrunsven’s prototype – and embarked on a restoration project.

We spoke with Dye and got a close look at RV-1 at Sun ‘n Fun in Lakeland, Florida.
