PhillyD Mostly hover with slow/medium forward flight, no 3d or outside as yet as have two big indoor areas. I would imagine air flow has a big part but these little motors seem to vary so much in longativity regardless. I bet if you did not change trim settings, same batt and flight path one would last longer than the other lol. Ive pulled em apart after each one died and there is always a missing brush arm and lots of soot........I can see why the brushless shows up as out of stock everywhere. Hey Tommyjoking I guess you had a whoopsie lol, every one has a different idea but my path worked for me. I read everything I could find and even after reading that the 4#1 was a heap of poo and the HBFP was the best..............I bought the 4#1 and have not had any probs.....apart from flying too much. 4#1 straight from box, receiver wire in a straw eliminated glitching and servo links 1 hole in to tame it down a bit (got a CX2, 22e, HBK2 and the 4#1 is the hardest of them all in forward flight) but they are 20x more durable than the colective imo. I will add the HB has a better hand controller internals than Walkera I think with any of these little helicopters, as we get better at using them we expect more than they were intended to do, then bigger batteries and heavier metal upgrades take front row to upgrading to a more capable helicopter. I have no doubt my 22e motor would last longer and parts would have not broken if I knew how to fly first lol.
