The Jungster II is a follow-up design that grew out of experience with the Jungster I. The intent was to create a plane with the same open-cockpit concept, but to increase speed and capacity so that it would be an acceptable cross-country airplane. The Jungster II uses the same design and construction concepts, except that it is just a little bit bigger, has a single extended parasol-type wing, and uses a welded steel-tube center section. Engines rated from 85 to 180 hp are used. Plans are no longer available.
