Being unfamiliar with the Nitromodels Zero, how would you compare the quality, and build to that of a VQ kit?
It is not as good of quality as the VQ models. It has a fiberglass fuse and built up wings and stab. It needs the weight of the big block up front to balance so the 1.10 works great. The wing is 515 squares and it flies very well. The first one I built, I put a YS .63 in it. It needed a bunch of lead on the firewall to make it balance and it wasn't even a good Bronze plane. With the 1.10 it can almost go gold. The hardware is junk but for $88 you can easily toss it out and put good stuff in it. One good thing is that the front is a full fiberglass wrap with the ply firewall behind so it is pretty tough.

Blessings, Terry
