To admit I'm still not convinced ! It looks too good to be a real image.

I have no idea if it's a fake but that pic is just a reverse image. Look at the tail rotor.Well you are wrong. It is a legit. Here is another image
As such was the one posted a few days ago the mirrored version, since the Z-20 has the tail rotor on the right side ! (exactly as the S-70C does)
For me question simply remains: is this either a good CG or an image based on a true photo that has been psed/altered a bit !???

Okay. I admit it could very well be a photoshop but I just have a gut feeling that it isn't and I'm just hoping it isn't.
Anyway I noticed that in the picture I posted earlier the serial number on the boom tail was 20003
The first picture of the Z-20 (1st flight) that came out, the serial number was 20001
I also noticed how the position of the serial number was different. In the Z-20 'flight test' picture, the number started from left to right (front view perspective); 2 was starting from the tail boom towards the fuselage. The Z-20 20003 helicopter's serial number started from right to left (front view perspective), the 2 was starting from the cabin/fuselage towards the boom tail....
Then I thought maybe the picture was indeed mirrored. Then I found out that that is how the other S-70C's are numbered in China.
On the left side of the helicopter the serial number starts on the left to right(front view perspective). The right side of the helicopter it starts from the right to left. Examples below
Left side (LH is starting from the tail boom) (front view perspective)
Right side (LH is starting from the fuselage) (front view perspective)
So the serial number on the alleged Z-20 photos does indeed follow the serial number pattern. It leaves me hope those photos are genuine. As for the tail rotor, it is on the right side (back view perspective). Look at the first picture in my 'Right side' image, they look the same.

Z-20 and Z-18 together. Shame about the low resolution
BTW...congratulations on your 7,000th post!
thanks, I don't even notice that. Been around here too long I guess.
