Yesterday I had a chance to test Fly my new Tutor II. (70' lines, ST .51, cg 3" from leading edge of wing, 1.5 oz of tail weight). Most of the earlier comments fall right in line with my experiences:
1. The fuse was warped (at least it was warped in the correct direction)
2. The covering material was about the worst I've ever encountered
I also have two more observations to add:
3. I knew better, but I used the kit's CA hinges. They are WAY TOO STIFF!!! Gonna cut those out and replace with pinned hinges.
4. Experienced odd engine performance and inconsistent flight times, I attribute to the square tank. Will replace with wedge and expect to see improvement.

Did these little irritants stop me from enjoying? NO WAY !! I had a great time and an excellent break from the some old RC rut I seem to find myself in. I would very highly recommend this ship for the born again control line flyer. It is stable (both upright and inverted), maintains good line tension (even overhead) and its landings rate a solid "10". Once I get the hinges replaced, the plane will be more responsive to control input. But come to think of it... for its intended role as a C/L trainer, maybe the stiff hinges are not so bad.

The Tutor II helped me remember how much fun I had as a kid with the "Original Park Flyers". But now, the engines are so much easier to start!!! The ST51 was an excellent choice for the plane as well. Now I need to finish the ARF Nobler I also bought.
