At its introduction in 1940, the Zero was the most devastatingly effective aircraft in production. Its long range and incredible performance made it virtually untouchable. This Top Flite model is a tribute to those legendary aircraft, designed to be scale in appearance and performance. A thick airfoil, large wing and wide stance landing gear deliver ease of flight and good maneuverability on the ground. Make no mistake, this Zero is no trainer. It's a sleek bird with maneuverability worthy of its legendary namesake
