Bede BD-6

Essentially a single-seat version of the BD-4, it incorporates 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 en-closed cockpit and stands on tricycle gear of the non-retractable type.
