The '''Dobi-II''' is the second airplane designed by [[Lithuania]]n aviator [[Jurgis Dobkevičius]] in 1922. It was tested in October 1923. After two landing accidents plans for mass production of Dobi-II were abandoned.<ref name=LAM/>

The Dobi-II had long ailerons and were able to be folded due to an internal mechanism. This was most likely done to reduce storage, as the Dobi-II was intended for military usage. During the 1923's the Dobi-II was one of the fastest planes among the two seat aircraft with 200 hp engines. Additionally the hanging control column was used in the Dobi-II. <ref>{{Cite web |title=DOBI-II , 1/72 , Scratch built |url=https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235092999-dobi-ii-172-scratch-built/ |access-date=2023-03-12 |website=Britmodeller.com |language=en-GB}}</ref>
