yes, this is the one```strange thing is unlike the early stage of J-20 and J-31, this one does not have much attentions in Chinese forums nor as CG photos.

Looks like an rc plane to me.

People have said the same about the F-22, F-35, J-21 and J-31 etc. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

And I say I'm right and you can see it now.

All I had to do was look up and type in rc J20 because it looks familiar in design. And not to mention the engines didn't look right. You can view and compare to the pic because the trees are the same.

It is likely a hoax. Oldman have posted up a video link with huge resemblance to this plane.

罗阳 was caught here inspecting something. This is not the J-31 and it could be the rumored J-18 STOVL.
