The Grega GN-1 Aircamper was a light aircraft developed in the United States in the early 1960s,{{cite journal|journal=Air Trails|date=Winter 1971|page=76}} 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.{{cite book|title=World encyclopaedia of aircraft manufacturers: from the pioneers to the present day|author=Bill Gunston|page=238}} Two wings were designed, one based on the Cub wing, and another as a modernised version of the Pietenpol wing.
