At the other end of the size scale i built a 1/2a shrike and it was decent. The wood was ok, i think i used most all of it (what little there is in a plane with a 24" wingspan.) The instructions stunk, but if you have built a few kits with good success, then it shouldnt be too bad. Not sure how much any of it has to do with a 35%plane though, i bet the tail is bigger than the wingspan on that little shrike!
