Design
editThe MJ-6 was designed to be a retractable tricycle geared, low-wing, all-wood construction, twin engine homebuilt. The wooden structure is covered with 1/8" plywood panels. The engine gauges are mounted externally on the engine nacelles facing the pilot. The cowlings and canopy were to be sourced from Falconar Avia.[2]
Construction was started in 1964, but it was never completed.[3] It was a two-seat tandem design - a side-by-side version, the MJ-66 was also planned but never built.[1]
