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 need the weight of the big block up front to balance so the 1.10 works great. the sing 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.

Terry,
The SAM guys refer to the 110 as a small block.... the BIG BLOCK is the 120/140 in our world.
Skids......
It's all relative. I was comparing it to the .63. The extra weight of the 1.10 was perfect. The plane was designed for a .40 so the 1.10 feels like a big block.
I'm mounting a 1.40 in a custom built P-51 as we speak. Then it will be time to experiment with Fuel and props. The 1.70 is too rich for my blood right now.
