[citation needed] The Playboy was designed to be constructed from either plans or from a series of partial kits.
The construction is mixed with the fuselage made from welded steel and the wings built from wood.
Having been sold in 1955, the prototype Playboy passed through several owners' hands before being donated to the Experimental Aircraft Association.
[3] Canada's first licensed amateur-built aircraft was a highly modified Playboy that was built by Keith S. Hopkinson.
Hopkinson used the basic Playboy design and incorporated a Piper J-3 cowling, a Cessna 170 propeller spinner, de Havilland Tiger Moth wing struts, Cessna 140 conventional landing gear and Stinson 108 wheel pants.
