The BD-6 was first tested and flown in 1974. It is a high wing, all metal, single place aircraft. It incorporated the same Hirth engine that was intended for the BD-5 with a 2-1-belt reduction drive. The prototype N6BD accumulated about 160 hours before it was caught in the flood of 1993, in St. Louis, MO. The prototype is slowly going through restoration. Plans are being developed on the computer and are approximately 80 percent complete. The BD-6 is simple and great fun to fly. It is very similar to the BD-17 in overall size, but requires more man-hours to build. Only a basic information kit is available at this time. When the project is totally complete, the plans and parts may become available.

We have completed the BD-6 drawings on the CAD system and are going to make complete BD-6 material Kits available. The BD-6 is truly a fun sport airplane and will meet the new sport category requirements. It is one of the simplest, lowest cost homebuilts available.
