Hello all!

I first got my Spark shortly after this past Christmas about 3 months ago and just ran through 20 hours flight time! Still loving it! Happy flying everyone!

I'm jealous!  I got mine in early Nov. and the weather here in NE WA state has been to cold/snowy to fly it more than a few hours.
The prediction is to finally start warming up so - fingers crossed!

Congrats and log all of that time in an online logbook like DroneLogbook.com
That way if you ever decide to go Part 107, you will have some credible electronically logged hours.
Remember, hobbyist flight hours or commercial flight hours are all flight hours.
Took a long time to get here - since Dec 19, 2015

Just imagine my flight time from Feb 14 - Dec 18
Of course, the early flights are my 450mm 500mm 550mm and 680mm home made drones until October 1, 2017 when I got my Spark.

Well done, I am jealous too.  Between work and the crappy weather here in the Netherlands I haven't gotten much flight time outside.  Next week though I am off to Slovenia, so I plan to do some flying and video.  I will post after my return.

More than the flight time in 3 months, I am quite surprised to see the distance you have managed to travel. You have an average of ~4500 feet per flight. That's absolutely incredible.

I hope the weather gets better for you! I'm sure you're eager to get out there and log some hours.

I hope the weather clears up for you and you get some time off of work to get in some flight time! Enjoy your vacation and we'll be looking for your footage! Thanks for the comment.

I'm doing a lot of flying out in the southern New Mexico desert here in the states. I like to cover some ground while I'm in the air.. Thanks for the comment!

I have 123 flight time but got only 167000 experience point. How did you get 320000 with 150 flight time?!

I believe the calculation for points also accounts for distance traveled. I am flying an average of 4,500 feet per flight, as pointed out by nilanjan118. It looks like you have flown 123 flights but only covered a distance of 40,746 meters (133,681 feet) while I have had 152 flights for 206,712 meters (678,192 feet).

I checked my stats too and found that although I have more flights and double distance traveled than you, my points are almost similar to yours. So as pointed out by StetsonWatkins, I think the point system must be a function of all 3 factors.
1. Total flight time
2. Travel distance
3. No. of flights

6370m was the total distance traveled on that particular flight. It is not the maximum distance from home. Here is that flight if you would like to take a look.
