An interesting post with little basis in fact, the only major problem with the Tutor is the propellor and that is being addressed.

There are no major structural issues with the aircraft, some time back there was a gear collapse but this was due to loads beyond the certification requirements.

I am guessing that you might have seen a report from an MoD agency that is critical of the manufacturing quality control, Unfortunatly this report failed to understand the use of thickened resin and assumed that this was a defect in manufacture.

I would be quite happy to operate the Grob Tutor to the limits of the flight manual provided it was fitted with the MT propellor.
