The '''Omega II''' airplane is a development from the [[Palomino (aircraft)]].

==Operational history==
The initial design of the Omega II started in [[Stinson Municipal Airport]] under the supervision of [[Bert Wilcut]] in his [[San Antonio Aviation]] company in [[San Antonio, Texas]]. The Omega II is based on the [[Palomino (aircraft)]]. These two concepts were intended as a [[Homebuilt aircraft]], all-metal aircraft for the sport aircraft market. They both had high cruise speed, fighter-like handling, and aerobatic capabilities. Due to financial difficulties, Wilcut sold the rights of the Palomino to [[System Aero Engineering]], who changed the name of the airframe to Omega II.<ref>[https://aviationweek.com/business-aviation/archives-pilot-report-omega-2/ "Pilot Report - Omega 2"]</ref>
