What is the key to flying distance?

I am finally starting to get the hang of fly, but still can't swim a distance at one go - by distance, I mean fly-wise. i.e., more than 50 meters. What is the key to flying distance? I wonder why I lose my wind only after 50 meters of flying when I can swim 1000 meters of freestyle without much fatigue.

    Bud I am sorry I did not mean to offend it is just that I get tired of seeing something that is not even sensible. Swimming the English channel doing butterfly. It is in the same relm as Jack Lalanne swimming with hand cuffs on pulling a boat. I can barely do a 50 fly now and have only done a 200m fly once in the 1956 Olympics and I am ashamed of that swim.
