(Neat airplane, I saw it in Augusta, Kansas in 1980) BD-3 was not mentioned. BD-4 as known. BD-5 (need we say more) BD-6 was a single seat BD-4 powered by a 50-75 horse Hirth. (The following is from memory) BD-7 was a slick looking 4 place BD-5 with Lycoming power BD-8 was a racing or aerobatic one place airplane that looked fairly conventional.
