[QUOTE="Gsmithwa, post: 41017, member: 6025"] Hmmmm. The only moving parts of course are the motors, gimbal and internal fan. I suspect the motors will have a good life provided you keep any crap (sand, dirt, excess moisture) out of them. Similar with the gimbal motors. My own bet is that the internal fan will give up first. Good to listen out for unusual noises that could indicate imminent failure (screeching noise is usual the first sign in this sort of fan). If it stops I expect the Spark will have some sort of over temperature issue. Not sure if it will complain or just shut off or damage the ESCs. The other thing that will wear out is the battery. It should slowly degrade giving shorter fly times and then will fail to charge. But you can buy another one. [/QUOTE]
