Fournier produced the Volkswagen-powered RF-1 single-seat motor-glider with a high-aspect ratio low-mounted wing, registered F-WJGX it first flew on 6 July 1960.[1] Fournier followed it with an improved variant, the RF-2 using a Rectimo AR.1200 engine, the first of two-built, with the help of Centre Est, first flew in June 1962.[1]

Fournier started a company Societé Alpavia to manufacture a production variant of the RF-2, named the RF-3.[1] The first RF-3 was exhibited at the June 1963 Paris Air Show. Series production commenced later that year.

An aerobatic variant with a strengthened airframe was produced as the Fournier RF 4.
