I’ve had the priviledge of seeing the Snowbirds fly their demonstration routine and they fly the Tutor. You want a colorful paint scheme for your model here’s one!! This is a great aircraft and with a small extension of the jet exhaust so the pusher prop will clear the empennage and you're in business.

CONSTRUCTION:
WING: The wing is done using the Dave Rees’ sliced rib construction. I’ve noted tutorials on this technique done by Mike Stuart on his site Free Flight Models. The dihedral wasn’t listed but the ROT is the tips of the wing should be right at the bottom of the canopy. I would recommend this for the Tutor.

FUSELAGE: Construction of the fuselage uses the box style fuselage with formers on top and bottom to give the fuselage it’s rounded shape. I planned on 1/16” sheet for the formers. A balsa block is used for the prop extension and rounded to look like the exhaust nozzle.

EMPENNAGE: Because of the prop block extension I show the horizontal stab made from 1/16” sq and sheet balsa. With the almost 'T' tail I’d double the ribs and sand to airfoil. Again I have in my mind how I’d build it but didn’t always get those thoughts on the plan. The vertical surface is made of 1/16” sheet to help in making a strong “T-tail”.

I look forward to building this one as it’ll make a great looking model. That’s how some of my models get away from me. A grandson or neighbor kid sees it and wants it. I always reason, I can build another one so maybe they’ll want to build one in the future.
