Wow - if you don't trust simple mathematics it sort of brings into question everything else that you said.

For the record my P20 ran out its first 25 hr service interval in 122 flights. Now admittedly there was a bit of test running in there but not 100 flights worth. To back this up I checked the runtime after every flight and it was typically 9-10 minutes, never below 8. This is for a very small model with short (< 6 minute) flights. Larger planes tend to fly for longer.

You'll NEVER get to 200 flights before 25 hours.
