For RC helicopter owners in the UK seeking authentic Blade spare parts, this tail rotor blade set offers genuine quality, compatibility assurance, and the peace of mind that comes from using manufacturer-approved components.
This is an optional part that allows you to customise and maintain your RC helicopter fleet. Whether you're building a backup set of blades for competition flying, replacing worn components after regular recreational flights, or simply keeping essential spares in your flying bag, the BLH Tail Rotor Blade Set Green provides excellent value and reliability.

Technical Performance
The BLH Tail Rotor Blade Set represents precision engineering specifically designed for the demanding requirements of RC helicopter flight. Tail rotor blades are critical to helicopter stability and control, as they counter-rotate to the main rotor and prevent the fuselage from spinning. The green finish is applied to maintain visibility while the blade geometry is engineered to provide optimal aerodynamic performance across the flight envelope of compatible Blade models. As an OEM component from Horizon Hobby's Blade division, these blades are manufactured using materials and processes that ensure durability and consistent performance. The blade set is designed to work seamlessly with the tail rotor drive systems found on B450 3D, B400, and B450 X helicopters, utilising the standard blade grip and mounting systems common to these models. The engineering emphasises reliability, ensuring that pilots can trust their tail rotor performance during normal flying operations, whether for casual recreational flying, training, or competitive RC helicopter sports. These blades work in conjunction with the tail rotor shaft, drive assembly, and pitch control mechanisms that are integral to these helicopter models.
