If you want a flanker replica, go to a hobby shop and purchase it there. That technique of training must be really old. I saw a chinese propaganda poster with a pilot holding a plane replica. What are they going to get out of doing manuvers with toy planes? why not play video games like all the other countries instead?

One of the best ways to visualize a manouvure - try it with a computer simulation so that you - as an individual - can manipulate two planes at once to demonstrate a problem and solution - far easier to convey by hand...

In the first photo, I spy four UAVs. That includes what is known as but unconfirmed as the YJ-62 LACM up front. (Notice the wing, the tail, and the booster.) The UAV behind it is the WZ-2000(WZ?What in the.....) Stealth UAV (It made maiden flight in Dec 2003 according to Dongfeng). Good stuff. If you pay attention, there is the CK-1 flying target in Orange. And in the back is something new apparently......... I've seen such a UAV in Iran and I think also in Saudi Arabia. Don't know when it came over the Himalayas......... Wonder about it though.
