Fixed Gear Warbirds
The fixed gear version of the AT-6 was called the BT-14 Yale (just for research purposes). However, if you're looking for a gentle warbird the T-6 design is not. T-6's have a bad tip stall tendency on landing especially in the wind. I've seen many good pilots fight to make decent landings with T-6's in just a quartering wind.

AT-6 Landings
I have flown seceral different types of Texans, and all of them were easy to land if you followed the following rules.
Use power to control decent
never touch the ailerons once on final
reduce touchdown speed as low as possible to prevent hopping.
I never had one tipstall unless aileron was introduced in the low speed flight regime.
