Default GP Tutor?

I test flew a Tutor the other day. It was set up for ailerons but they weren't installed yet so I flew it with rudder/elevator. I'd recommend going with ailerons, as the rudder control is a little sluggish (especially when trying to level the wings). The tail surfaces are quite fragile, we managed to bend the LE of the stab while at the field.

In comparison, the switchback is a little pocket rocket and looks like great fun. I haven't flown one but our current club prez has one with GWS retracts, and it is quite aerobatic with Lithium Polymers. If you fly glow already you'd probably enjoy the switchback. Also check out the Tiny-X from www.toddsmodels.com as it looks like a real kick too.
