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....

After looking at the rigging and construction of the root assembly of 1-36, I decided I'd rather not fly one. Those few that did fly the one we had for a few years always seemed to be on the verge of PIO's on take off. AFAIK, only one instructor ever flew it. Perhaps what you describe resulted in a tendency to over control. I always though it looked twitchy.
