perhaps a bunch of taped-on stress sensors for that particular part of the tail?

A bit bigger, but what's that spider-net alike structure / thing on the tails ??? ... 2011 did not feature this.

I think that this is basically what the first batch J-20 will look like... almost no change from 2011.

Awesome! Does it have only one hexagonal mesh opening on the side of the engine now?

 

[Equation]

What is that star cluster looking thing on the vertical tail?

As always it's about the angle.

would be interesting to see if the exhaust area change at all here. Although, I want to see what kind of change is made if they move to the engine they will use for production batch.

That was what Deino was asking about, the spider like thing.

According to someone on cjdby they've recently resolved some vibration issues with the V tails and now the J-20 is pretty much finalized in outer form.

It does seem like security measures are keeping the unwanted away. Usually you'll see a lot of pics for 1st flight of new prototypes.
