Default Tiger 60 - Need tips/suggestions

Hey all. I'm looking into my second plane and have pretty much decided on the Tiger 60. A couple club members who have seen me fly seem to think it will be a good plane for me. I want to build, and I am thinking about the following combo/upgrades. I'd like to know what people think about this combo, and if anyone has any additional suggestions. I have not purchased anything yet.

Tiger 60 kit
OS .91 Four Stroke
modify to be taildragger (up in the air on this one)
Separate elevator halves
Pull-Pull to rudder elevator

Two specific questions are a) should I consider enlarging the control surfaces, and b) how do I do pull-pull on separate elevator halves?

I've been flying solo for a while, and I figure I won't have this finished until next spring, so I should have plenty of trainer time in by the time I put this up in the air.

My instructor (who's opinion I value greatly) has encouraged me to look into a stick or something similar, but I'm affraid it would not be enough of a challenge to me and would just fly mostly like my trainer. Thanks again for any and all opinions.
