The BD-6 was another in the line of “build-it-yourself” airplanes from Bede Aircraft. Essentially a single seat version of the BD-4, it incorporated the same ease of construction aimed at the novice builder while utilizing the same German-made Hirth engine originally
used in the BD-5. This high wing all-metal ship seats one person in an enclosed cockpit and stands on non-retractable tricycle gear.
