Grega Aircamper Explained
The
Grega GN-1 Aircamper was a light aircraft developed in the United States in the early 1960s,
[1] originally as a personal project of its designer, but later marketed in plans form for homebuilding. John W. Grega initially set out to create a modernised version of the
Pietenpol Air Camper using structural components from a
Piper Cub but incorporating them into a new fuselage design based on the Pietenpol original.
[2] Two wings were designed, one based on the Cub wing, and another as a modernised version of the Pietenpol wing.
