My wires are fine... I usually upsize one gauge or so to be safe on all my circuits. Brush wear was high in the beginning till the commutator got coated with brush material.... First set of brushes lasted about 20 hours, second set went 80 or so. It is stabilized at around 150 hours for a set now. The motor just failed at the 50 hour mark, I sent it back and Ron (at) Ivo exchanged it for a new one, no charge, so I am guessing they had a bad batch. I will contact them this week when I sent this one back but I am pretty sure this next one will cost me some AMU's. <G> I will remind them of the positive article Kitplanes mag did on my plane with hopes they 'might' cut me some slack though . http://www.kitplanes.com/issues/26_12/exploring/9026-1.phtml
About 18 minutes into my video is a shot of the brushes

I am curious to hear if others have had motor failures though.
