Something happened to mine. I had 163 flights now I have 30.

Make sure to sync "ALL" flights (not just the default of 1 month or the other alternative of 6 months), but all the prior flights must have been synced with the cloud originally, or at least before the app was deleted and reinstalled.

Good show! I got about 8,000,000 feet on my P4 and for now the my 4 batteries are in storage mode and I am having P4 withdrawals. I wish the weather around here would permit me more flights but living in the north is what it is. Quite a few days around -30C and it's just to low for me to have fun flying, -20C not bad if the wind and snow dosn't nail us so snowmobiling it is. Next week I will bring my syma x5sw at work and try not to slam into any thing too hard in our heavy equipment shop. BTW there is nothing soft in there at all!

I can relate to the withdrawals when weather precludes flying for as much as a week (fog and rain in my case). Nothing like a good 10 mile flight in great lighting and clear visibility to satisfy the need for fresh 4K video to review and play with! Ideally, every day allows for a new flying opportunity!

Could I trouble you to ask to view some of your better material. YouTube???

You could, but I would have to respectfully decline. They are just for my personal enjoyment, and are not public. I hope you can understand.

Wow you have flown 4000 miles with the p4 that's amazing.

I had a P4 replaced due to a cracked airframe, and I have a replaced MP after having crashed it on its first flight. I consider that as being 2 birds instead of 4, and my 1,112 miles is divided between them. I was busy during this last summer so my numbers are down from where they could have been.

Incredible mileage per flight (mpf). To put in perspective, this is my score.

Not close, only about 1300 miles.

That’s interesting !
I have a super long way to go, owning only one AC and lesser time to fly , i will get back to it on better weather .

Congrats GadgetGuy

GadgetGuy · Jan 20, 2018

After almost 8 days of no flying due to inclement weather, I'm back in the saddle.

In other words... He knows what he is doing is illegal (blatenly and repeatedly flying well beyond visual line of sight) and doesn't want to leave a public trail for the FAA to get a hold of.
