Key Features
- Genuine Blade Component — This is an authentic manufacturer part produced by Blade specifically for the helicopter models listed in the compatibility section, ensuring it meets exact engineering tolerances and quality standards that guarantee reliable tail rotor pitch control during flight.
- Multi-Model Compatibility — The pitch lever set is designed to work seamlessly with four different popular Blade helicopter models (B450, 330X, Fusion 270, and 330S), making it a versatile addition to any multi-helicopter fleet or ideal for pilots who own multiple models across this product range.
- Standard Fitment — Classified as a standard part for the compatible helicopter models, this pitch lever set is recognized by Blade as a direct replacement component, meaning installation is straightforward and requires no modification or adaptation to your helicopter frame or tail rotor assembly.
- Critical Control Function — The pitch lever directly controls the angle of attack of the tail rotor blades, which is essential for maintaining yaw stability and precise directional control during hover, forward flight, and advanced manoeuvres, making this a crucial component for safe and stable helicopter operation.
- Compact and Lightweight — Like all tail rotor control components, this pitch lever set is engineered to be compact and lightweight, minimising added weight to your helicopter whilst maintaining the mechanical rigidity necessary for precise pitch control inputs.
Technical Performance
The Blade Tail Rotor Pitch Lever Set is engineered with precision mechanics that translate pilot input from the helicopter's control linkage into precise tail rotor pitch adjustments. This component operates within tight mechanical tolerances to ensure smooth, responsive control without dead zones or binding that could compromise stability. The pitch lever mechanism is designed to work in conjunction with the tail rotor servo and control rod system, creating a direct mechanical pathway for yaw control inputs. For RC helicopter pilots operating models like the 330S RTF, 330X, Fusion 270, or B450, this pitch lever set ensures that the tail rotor maintains proper blade angle throughout the entire flight envelope. The genuine Blade construction means this component has undergone the same rigorous testing and quality control that Blade applies to all OEM helicopter components, guaranteeing it will perform identically to the factory-installed part. Whether you are flying in calm indoor conditions at your local RC club or pushing your helicopter's performance envelope in outdoor flight, this pitch lever set maintains the mechanical precision required for confidence-inspiring tail rotor control and stable directional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Blade helicopter models does this pitch lever set fit? — The BLH1667 pitch lever set is compatible with the Blade B450, 330X, Fusion 270, and 330S helicopter models. It is classified as a standard part for all compatible variants within these model lines, including RTF (Ready to Fly), BNF (Bind and Fly), and ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) configurations.
- What is a tail rotor pitch lever and why might I need to replace it? — The tail rotor pitch lever is a mechanical component that controls the angle of the tail rotor blades, which governs your helicopter's yaw (rotation around the vertical axis). Over time with regular flight operations, wear on the pivot points, linkage connections, or the lever itself can develop, potentially introducing play in the system or reducing control precision. Having a replacement on hand ensures you can quickly return your helicopter to full performance without extended downtime.
- Is this a genuine Blade part? — Yes, this is an authentic OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Blade component produced to original specifications. It is listed as a standard part for the compatible helicopter models, meaning Blade recognises it as the correct replacement component and guarantees it will function identically to the factory-installed pitch lever.
- How difficult is it to install a replacement pitch lever set? — Installation difficulty depends on your mechanical experience and familiarity with helicopter tail rotor systems. The pitch lever set connects to your tail rotor servo and control linkage, so some basic disassembly of the tail boom area is typically required. If you are comfortable performing routine helicopter maintenance and adjustments, this is a manageable task. Helicopter-specific forums and manufacturer documentation provide detailed guidance, and the RC Model Shop team can offer support if needed.
- What is the difference between this pitch lever and aftermarket alternatives? — This is the genuine Blade specification part that your helicopter was engineered and tested to use. Aftermarket pitch levers may fit, but they cannot guarantee the same mechanical precision, material quality, or performance characteristics as the OEM component. For critical control components like the pitch lever that directly affect helicopter stability and safety, genuine parts are the recommended choice.
- Will this work with my specific helicopter variant? — The Z-BLH1667 is confirmed compatible with multiple variants of the B450, 330X, Fusion 270, and 330S models, including RTF, BNF, and ARF versions. If you own a helicopter outside these specific model lines, this pitch lever will not be compatible. Check your helicopter's manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
