Vergès VJ 01 Gringo

01/31/2011. Remarks by Walter van Tilborg: "The Gringo was an original and one-of-a-kind homebuilt single-seat sport annex racing aircraft of José Ramon Vergès, who designed and built it. The Gringo featured detachable wings for easy transport and hangar storage and it had one 90 hp Continental C90-8F piston engine. Only a single example was constructed and this was registered F-PYVJ on November 6, 1986, and subsequently flown, the aircraft is still active in the hands of Vergès."
