With my vast experience of 1 hour in a Turbulent 40 years ago, and rather more time glider towing with a Condor not much more recently, I seem to recall that the Turbulent was delightful and docile, and a Condor would be an ideal aircraft to do some time in before flying the single seater.
Of the types probably more reaily acessible, the Chipmunk springs to mind as appropriate in terms of handling.
Have fun, and keep it straight on the ground. Preferably fly off grass.
