| The poor results achieved with the AVIS I fighter
prompted Prof Abody-Anderlik and his team to redesign
the aircraft despite the decision of the Legilyi Hivatal
to acquire 21 Fiat CR.20bis fighters from Italy.
While retaining the Jupiter VI engine, the redesigned
fighter, the AVIS II, featured a slimmer, slab-sided fuselage,
redesigned vertical tail surfaces, narrower interplane
bracing struts and increased gap. Empty weight was reduced by 100kg and, after initial trials,
the engine was enclosed by a Townend ring. The AVIS
II commenced flight test early in 1935, but still proved overweight and lacking in the agility demonstrated by
contemporary foreign fighters. The planned armament
of twin 7.62mm Gebauer guns was never fitted. Development
was abandoned in favour of the higher-powered
AVIS III.
