Deringer?

[goathead]

The other night I was flying and a guy checked in with center in a twin. Center called him a baron and he said he was a Deringer? A 2 seat twin made by Wings Aircraft in California. Does anyone have a picture of this or know anything about it? He said there were only 14 built.
thanks

That response time was impressive. I googled it and couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks for your help.

Ernie Gann bought the first one off the line, and Dodie flew it in a couple of races.

Who needs Google when you've got BD King?

It looks kinda cool, but it would be nice if you could fit 4 pax and not 2. Guess it's supposed to be a "sport" twin...

Only one pic on a.net

Read deeper. There's a 4-place option.

A couple years ago they were flying the prototype out in Mojave, CA every now and again.

I wonder how well it will fly single engine.
