Technical Performance
The Blade Elevator Control Lever Set represents precision engineering typical of Blade helicopter components. The elevator control system is responsible for managing the aircraft's pitch axis, which is essential for controlling climb rate, descent, and maintaining stable hover. The bellcrank component serves as the mechanical linkage point that translates servo movement into lever motion, while the lever itself connects to the swashplate through the ball studs. The inclusion of three ball studs ensures you have replacements for these critical wear items, which can develop play or damage with regular use and hard landings. The complete assembly is designed to work seamlessly with Blade's control linkage and servo systems, maintaining the precise mechanical advantage and response characteristics that Blade aircraft are engineered to deliver. All components in this set are manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring they will integrate perfectly with your existing helicopter systems without requiring any modification or adjustment beyond standard installation procedures.
