Is it bigger than the cub? I think that would be a good thing if it was.

Me too, but it probably flies much better than the simple cub. When this one gets released, I'm going to give up on the Cub and move all electronics to the Tutor. BTW, I crashed my Cub again yesterday. Tip stall to the left 10' off the ground as usual,

I'm sure it will be close to the same size so it will be powered by the B & C motors and be a Swappable. Probably near the same WS with out the rounded tips, maybe lengthened the fuselage an inch or two, and made the tailfeathers a little bigger.
I feel the same way on quick glance. looking like they are aiming for a Cessna 172 on this one. If so, great job.
I would enjoy a Cub vs. Tutor comparison.

Wake up! Time to fly!

I would just enjoy being able to actually fly either one instead of that whole toss high and arc back to the ground like a yard dart thing I seem to do best.

Soooo what I know is that it is "bigger than the cub, smaller than the legacy" and it has tricycle, taildragger, and float landing gear options. Also there is a Turbo Tutor that has a different wing and motor to be aerobatic and even 3D capable.

Looks nice! I'm all for FT refreshing their older designs.

I agree! I would love to see the Storch with float options in the SBK
Hi Everyone,
I think you guys will like this plane ! It flies great ! Edgewater is my home flying field. I got a chance to fly The Tutor a couple of times. I was in the right place at the right time. I was also there when some of the video was filmed on The Tutor and Turbo Tutor. I believe the Tutor flies better then the cub or the scout. Josh passes the transmitter around to the rookie pilots to see how they enjoy the plane. I am a rookie myself.

I would agree...the majority of these high wing aircraft, like the Cessna and Cub, look the same. they probably have some differences in wing shape and such that affect how they fly...but how big of a difference is there in how the model rc versions handle?

Hmm... I can see a Highlander #44 in that turbo variation...
