The aircraft was a conventional biplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear. It was powered by a radial engine.
Three versions were initially developed:
- Basic training version, powered by an 85 hp (63 kW) Walter Vega engine;
- Advanced training version, powered by a 145 hp (108 kW) Walter Mars I engine;
- 1937 Model DAR 6a. This variant offered faired struts and redesigned divided landing gear. It was powered by a 150 hp (112 kW) Walter Mars I engine.
