Key Takeaways:

The Jungster II is an evolved open-cockpit aircraft, designed as a faster, higher-capacity cross-country plane building on the experience of the Jungster I.
It features a slightly larger design with a single extended parasol wing, a welded steel-tube center section, and accommodates engines from 85 to 180 hp, achieving a cruise speed of 148 mph.
Despite its impressive performance, including a 3,500 fpm climb rate and 200 ft takeoff run, plans for building the Jungster II are no longer available.

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.
