Cool stuff. Nice perf increase with the new wing.

Thanks for sharing with us.

I predict a run on Stits Playboy plans, and a Renaissance of the RV-1 design....

Hmm... I wonder if they would make that in a two-seat version...

I like the cruising speed @ 8,000 feet for the Playboy.

I'll bet if Van would replace the tube-n-fabric fuselage with aluminum it would be even lighter and faster. Just a thought ...

That is an awesome piece of aviation history and americana...

As I read his brochure I was so amazed at how he took that little airplane, started a business and turned it into the wonderful success story it is today. My hat is off to you Mr. VanGrunsven. You are truly an example of the american dream.
