• Perfect Fitment for 230 S V2 — Specifically designed for the Blade 230 S V2 model, this frame ensures seamless integration with your existing components without any modification or adjustment required.
• Critical Structural Component — The main frame forms the backbone of your helicopter's airframe, providing the structural integrity needed for stable flight and reliable performance in various flying conditions.
• Crash Repair Essential — Whether you've had a minor tip-over or a more significant arrival, this frame is one of the most important components to replace to restore your helicopter to full flying condition.
• Cost-Effective Replacement — Priced affordably at £11.39, this genuine component represents sensible value when you consider the cost of damage to other helicopter systems if the frame is compromised.

Technical Performance

The main frame is manufactured to Blade's exacting engineering standards, designed specifically for the 230 S V2 micro helicopter platform. This component forms the central structural element of your aircraft's fuselage, providing the rigid framework to which all other systems are mounted. The frame's engineering is optimised for the lightweight performance demands of this scale of helicopter, balancing structural strength with minimal weight to maximise flight time and responsiveness. The 230 S V2 platform uses precision-engineered materials and construction methods that ensure your frame will handle the stresses of normal flying operations, including pitch and roll movements, throttle transitions, and recovery from aggressive manoeuvres. When integrated with other original Blade components—such as the main rotor head, tail boom, motor mount, and vertical fin—the frame creates a cohesive airframe system capable of reliable, stable flight. For RC helicopter pilots who fly regularly, keeping a spare frame in your equipment bag ensures you can tackle unexpected repairs on the field and maintain your flying schedule without extended downtime waiting for parts to arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the BLH Main Frame 230 S V2 compatible with other Blade helicopter models? — No. Blade manufactures different main frames for the 230 S, 230 S V2, and Smart versions of their helicopters, and these components are not interchangeable. You must verify your helicopter model before ordering. Always check your manual or existing part numbers to ensure compatibility, as fitting an incorrect frame will prevent proper assembly and safe flight.
• How do I know if my main frame is damaged and needs replacement? — Visible cracks, splits, bending, or warping in the plastic frame material are clear signs of damage. Even hairline cracks can compromise structural integrity and affect flight stability. If you've experienced a significant crash or tip-over, inspect the frame carefully for any damage before attempting to fly. When in doubt, contact our knowledgeable team for advice on whether a repair or replacement is necessary.
• What should I order alongside the main frame for a complete crash repair? — That depends on the extent of your damage. Common items to check include the main rotor head (BLH1501), tail boom (BLH1512), vertical tail fin (BLH1514), motor mount (BLH1518), and servo linkage components. Our friendly team at RC Model Shop can help you build a cost-effective repair list based on what you describe. Simply get in touch and we'll advise which additional spares you need to get your helicopter flying again.
• How quickly can I get this frame in the UK? — RC Model Shop maintains stock of this popular component and offers fast UK delivery options, including next-day delivery service. This means you can often have your replacement frame within 24 hours of ordering, minimising your downtime and getting you back in the air quickly.
• Is this frame suitable for beginners or experienced pilots? — This frame is suitable for any Blade 230 S V2 pilot, regardless of experience level. The 230 S V2 itself is popular with both newcomers to RC helicopter flying and experienced enthusiasts, and the frame is simply the core structural component that any pilot might need to replace after a crash or impact.
• What is the price, and does it represent good value? — At £11.39, this genuine Blade frame represents excellent value for a critical component. Considering the cost of repairing or replacing other helicopter systems if the frame becomes damaged, a spare frame in your spares box is an affordable investment in reliable flying and rapid repair turnaround times.
