Once you get used to it, and keep a steady hand...it flies great!

I think the wing rood is the same as the 1-34 (basically 1-36 has shorter 1-34 wings...)....Never heard of s structural problem with either 34 or 36...

There's been a couple of 1-34's come apart in flight due to botched aerobatics and I have seen a couple of other 1-34's that were "loose" all over due to having been overstressed by owners who frequently did aerobatics. What is it about 1-34's that encouraged aerobatic flight? Maybe it's my unschooled eyes, but the 1-34 just does not look an aerobatic mount to me.

Don't know about any 1-36's coming apart. Has to be a tough little sucker to have survived the infamous "barograph notching incident" in CO that more than doubled the dihedral.

Our 1-34 had major re-riveting of the wings as a result of botched flying. It had surprisingly low time to be showing such worry. It was sold and replaced with an LS-4a.
