No offense taken, from anybody . . . we all view things different.

My point to Slott is that there were over 10 different models and variations of the Zero produced by Japan; and yes some were shorter. You can still make your Top Flite Zero, as scale "as can be" relatively inexpensive. Enjoy what you've got and don't worry about what your friends think.

If you're going to enter competition, you probably wouldn't pick any of the Top Flite line anyhow.

If other people differ, such is life . . .
