I was considering it myself. There are several videos on YouTube, performing 3D. However, i looked at the manual (available at Pilot website), i didn't like the fuel and smoke tanks.
Will be happy to get first hand impression for this and also if there are any scale details (like lines, rivets, etc.).

A vid from this past weekend.
What a fun plane to fly.
Used stock equipment. 4L tank , 250ml stock UAT. All high flow 4mm ID fittings and stock 4mm ID tubing. Easy build - took 2 days. Stock turnbuckles, ball linkages. Stock servo extensions. Stock electric gear and brakes.

12.5KG dry with full UAT

Very nice! What do you think of the quality? Any major issues?

The carbon laminated formers are strong, glue joints are nice - no missed spots. The stock JP retracts are perfect. The controller worked everytime. My 2nd landing was a rather hard pancake - but the airframe took it well. No damage...
I have just added a smoke system with the stock 1.5L tank. Changed location of pump, UAT and removed 500g of lead from the nose. (factory CG is always too safe/too nose heavy)

Really liking the J10. 100ft (STOL) takeoff and landings now...
Over 80 flights now...
I removed the grease that came in the stock JP retracts to allow the LG to have better stock absorbing capabilities.

The front is held by 5X M4 screws - easy to take off. I am using the PilotRC Smoke pump ( https://pilot-rc.com/smoke-pump/ ) with Dual option (pulse or throttle mixed). I have 11 of these pumps - love them. (From 210N ton this J10 to 400N on my 4M Leo)

I did the same on my J10, with the stock grease was too stiff, is a 10 min job. I also replaced the nose spring to a softer one. It was the only mod needed, it is a great plane!

IŽll post a picture of the spring. Is not really needed but my field is a bit bumpy and now all the bumps are perfectly absorbed. Try to mount all the equipmet as forward as possible or you will need to add nose weight. I donŽt have lead in the nose and my CG is a bit nose heavy with 3x 5000mAh batteries. Weight with 210N turbine, uat full + smoke system is around 12,5kg (27.7lb)
