Ringo yes....Ringo Ranger? CushCraft never made one...a Ranger would be over
20 ft tall on 6!
The basic Ranger is a 1/2wave....on 6 that is 9 ft.....Rangers are 1/2wave
over 1/2wave with 1/4wave stub....
Not easy to build for 6...
(and I have three Ringos...one of them a commercial version...on 6mtrs)
