Well, I bought it now, thanks for the tip!
I liked it immediatly. Here's my subjective first impression.
The FM was about as I expected it to be. As far as stalls go, I would need the numbers first, but my first impressions are that it behaves quite gentle and recovers quickly. I was not able to put it into a spin with the rudder. I also could not produce a high speed stall on lower altitude. [edit: don't know if that is realistic]. I have read that Zeros didn't like to dive or overspeed, because the control forces got too high to recover. As far as I can tell this is not simulated.
But the engine cuts out inverted, and gear gets damaged when you are too fast when it's extended.
The texturing is good, also the bump mapping of the fuselage. Sound is good.

I'd recommend it! A steal for that price.

Well done JF!

And here, a Zero from the 6th Kokutai stationed on Rabaul, Lakunai Airfield:
