Key Features
- Genuine Blade Component — This is an authentic Blade OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility with your Blade 230S V2 helicopter. Genuine parts maintain the engineering integrity and precision tolerances that Blade designed into your aircraft.
- Specifically Engineered for Night 230 S — This mount is precisely designed for the Night 230 S variant of the Blade 230 series. The mounting geometry and motor interface are optimised for this specific model, ensuring that your tail rotor motor sits at the correct angle and position for balanced, responsive control.
- Critical Flight Performance Component — The tail motor mount directly affects your helicopter's yaw control response and overall stability during flight. A secure, well-aligned mount eliminates vibration and ensures the tail rotor motor operates at peak efficiency, translating to smoother, more predictable flying characteristics.
- Essential Crash Repair Part — If your helicopter has experienced a tip-over or impact, the tail motor mount may be damaged or bent. This replacement part allows you to quickly restore your aircraft to factory specifications without the expense of replacing the entire tail boom assembly.

Technical Performance
The BLH Tail Motor Mount: Night 230 S is engineered with precision tolerances to support the Blade 230S V2's tail rotor system. The mount provides secure mechanical attachment for the 3600KV tail motor (sold separately as BLH1515), which drives the tail rotor blades through the pinion gear assembly. The mounting interface is designed to maintain precise motor alignment with the gear drive system, which is essential for efficient power transmission and vibration-free operation. As part of the Blade 230 platform, this component integrates seamlessly with all other genuine Blade spares and upgrades available for the 230S V2 model. The engineering ensures that the tail rotor motor operates perpendicular to the main rotor plane, allowing it to effectively counteract the main rotor's torque and provide smooth yaw control response during flight. This component represents Blade's commitment to modular spares design, allowing pilots to maintain and upgrade their helicopters without requiring complete airframe replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this tail motor mount fit my Blade 230 helicopter? — This mount is specifically engineered for the Blade Night 230 S model. Blade manufactures different variants of the 230 series including the 230S, 230S V2, and 230S Smart versions, and these models use different components. You must verify that your helicopter is the Night 230 S variant before ordering. Check your aircraft's documentation or contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop if you're unsure of your model variant.
- Is this a genuine Blade part? — Yes, absolutely. This is an official Blade OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component, manufactured by Blade to the same specifications as the mount supplied with new Blade 230S V2 helicopters. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you receive authentic Blade spares, not aftermarket alternatives.
- What should I do if I'm unsure which parts I need after a crash? — RC Model Shop offers expert guidance to help you build a cost-effective repair list. If your Blade 230S V2 has experienced a crash or tip-over, contact our friendly and knowledgeable team on 01543 577278, and we'll help you identify exactly which components need replacement. We can source all the genuine Blade spares you need to get your helicopter flying again.
- How does this part fit into the overall tail rotor system? — The tail motor mount secures the 3600KV tail motor (BLH1515) in the correct position within your helicopter's tail boom. The motor drives the pinion gear assembly, which in turn drives the tail rotor blades. Precise alignment of this mount is essential for smooth yaw control and vibration-free flight. If your mount is damaged or bent, the motor's alignment will be compromised, affecting flight performance and potentially damaging the gearbox components.
- What is the difference between this and the standard motor mount (BLH1518)? — This is the tail motor mount specifically designed for the Night 230 S variant. The standard Blade 230S motor mount (BLH1518) is designed for different 230S model variants. These parts are not interchangeable, so it's crucial to verify your specific helicopter model before ordering. Our team at RC Model Shop can help you identify the correct part for your aircraft.
