Hello and welcome to the forums. Lots of great help and information here from pilots like you. I myself have two 4K Chromas and love still flying them. I've never experienced a flyaway with either one. I've heard that the air tag is a decent idea, but only if there are a lot of iPhones around...

The one pictured is the conversion kit for the Blade Chroma, with a black Q500 CG03 attached. The kit is sold by Rakon Heli and basically upgrades a lot of the plastic parts to carbon fiber and machined aluminum. Rakon Heli They are a Vietnamese company. It took awhile to get mine as I ordered...

Pretty sure you are credited on the fifth post.

Ingenuity did it this morning. First flight on Mars and it seems that all went well. Livestream link from earlier: First Flight of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter: Live from Mission Control More to come later today @ 12:00pm PDT

Welcome. I have several chromas that I still keep in the air. Lots of good information and help available here.

It is a 6mm thread on the props. The best place that I've found the stock props on recently is E-bay. A set pops up every so often but they tend to go fast. I also use carbon fiber props on the chroma that I did a rakon heli upgrade kit to. Blade Chroma Spare Carbon Props Xtreme Production...

Agreed. Sad to see them go. I just did business with them a couple of weeks ago and it was a pleasure as always. I also wish him and his family well in whatever may come their way. Huge loss for the drone industry when the good ones call it quits.

Here is a listing on ebay for some. They go quick and are getting hard to find. Horizon Hobby-Chroma Camera Drone-Propeller Set: Chroma-BLH8608 4 New, 4 Used

I like to use UAV Forecast. Breaks things down to parameters that you set and gives a really detailed view that includes satellites. I also use the free version of this as it provides more information than I truly need. I like Windy.com for the look and the long view, but UAV for the detail.

Check this out. I have saved a couple LiPo batteries using this method. How to recharge a fully flat lipo (lithium polymer) battery Does require a smart charger with storage functionality.

I also recently purchased a 2nd 128GA/AM card as a backup through E-bay. The price with shipping on this can't be beat by Amazon. Haven't gotten it yet but I will be testing it as soon as it gets here. Samsung EVO Select 128GB, Class 10 90MB/s - microSDXC Card - MB-ME128GA/AM

From: Confused with all the numbers, letters on SD cards? Here’s what they mean Speed Class This specification is represented on the card as a number inside of the letter “C.” It represents the minimum write speed and is most important to those shooting video or very large images in succession...

Greatly appreciated and looking forward to them.
