The 21-year-old was alone in the cockpit when his plane came down in a field just before 8pm on July 6 this year.
Three men aged 37, 55, and 68 were yesterday arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, North Yorkshire Police said today.
The trio were interviewed and released under investigation.
The Civil Aviation Authority are assisting the probe.
Harvey’s bosses, WF Aviation, said his “talent was limitless”.
They added: “Not many young lads could achieve what he had at the young age of 21.
“He was a one-man wonder who could do multiple tasks at once, applied himself with vigor and enthusiasm to anything he started, and never gave up.
“He was reliable, a great friend to all, and always thinking of others.”
North Yorkshire Police said today: “We have made three arrests in connection with the light aircraft crash which occurred on Thursday 6 July at Bagby Airfield.
“Three men aged 37, 55, and 68 were yesterday arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.
