Overview
The BLH Main Blade Set (2), White, Plastic is an essential replacement component for the Blade 200 SR X RC helicopter. This blade set comprises two main rotor blades manufactured in durable white plastic, designed to deliver reliable performance and smooth flight characteristics. Whether you're an experienced RC helicopter enthusiast based in the UK or someone new to the world of RC aviation, having replacement main blades on hand is crucial for maintaining your helicopter in peak condition. The Blade 200 SR X is a popular choice among RC helicopter pilots, and these genuine OEM blades ensure your model continues to perform as the manufacturer intended.
Main rotor blades are among the most frequently replaced components on any RC helicopter, as they are exposed to impacts, wear, and stress during normal flight operations. Even minor crashes or hard landings can damage or bend the blades, affecting flight stability and control response. By keeping a spare set of main blades in your RC hobby toolkit, you minimise downtime and can return to flying within minutes of any blade-related damage. These white plastic blades are colour-matched to work seamlessly with the Blade 200 SR X, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your aircraft whilst delivering consistent aerodynamic performance.
Sourced from Horizon Hobby, the official manufacturer and distributor, these blades represent genuine Blade-branded components that meet factory specifications. RC model enthusiasts throughout the UK trust Blade products for their quality, reliability, and exact fitment to their models. Whether you're flying casually in your garden, practicing advanced manoeuvres at your local flying field, or competing in RC helicopter events, having genuine replacement blades ensures your helicopter remains in perfect working order.
Key Features
- Factory Original Design — These blades are manufactured to Blade's exact specifications, ensuring they provide the same aerodynamic performance and handling characteristics as the blades that came with your helicopter. Using genuine OEM components eliminates the guesswork and potential compatibility issues associated with third-party alternatives.
- White Plastic Construction — The blades are crafted from durable white plastic that balances weight and strength, allowing your helicopter to respond quickly to control inputs whilst maintaining structural integrity during normal flight operations. The plastic material is lightweight enough to keep your aircraft responsive without adding unnecessary weight to the rotor system.
- Set of Two Blades — This package includes a pair of main rotor blades, giving you a complete replacement set for both sides of your main rotor head. Having both blades in one purchase ensures balanced rotor performance and eliminates the need to source matching pairs separately.
- Blade 200 SR X Compatibility — These blades are specifically engineered for the Blade 200 SR X RC helicopter, guaranteeing perfect fitment and eliminating any risk of compatibility problems. The blade mounting, length, and aerodynamic profile match your helicopter's design precisely.
- Easy Installation — Replacing main rotor blades on RC helicopters is a straightforward process that most pilots can complete in minutes with basic tools. The standardised mounting system makes blade changes quick and hassle-free, getting you back in the air rapidly.
- Essential Spare Part — Main rotor blades are consumable components in RC helicopter flying, making this set an indispensable spare to keep in your flying kit. Whether you're recovering from an accident or simply refreshing worn blades, having a backup set ensures you never miss a flying session.
Technical Performance
The Blade 200 SR X is a micro-scale RC helicopter designed for indoor and outdoor flying, and these main rotor blades are engineered to match the aircraft's lightweight platform and responsive control characteristics. The white plastic construction provides an optimal balance between weight reduction and durability, crucial for a small-scale helicopter where every gram affects flight performance and battery life. The blades are aerodynamically profiled to generate adequate lift whilst minimising vibration and maintaining stable flight throughout the helicopter's performance envelope. The plastic material used in these blades is specifically selected for its impact resistance, allowing the helicopter to recover from minor collisions with obstacles or the ground. The blade design incorporates proper pitch angles and twist characteristics that work in harmony with the Blade 200 SR X's main rotor head and swashplate assembly, ensuring smooth, predictable control response. Whether you're performing gentle hovering manoeuvres, executing fast forward flight, or practising aggressive 3D flying techniques, these blades deliver the performance your helicopter was designed to achieve. The mounting system is standardised and secure, preventing blade slippage or movement during flight. Regular inspection and replacement of main rotor blades as part of your RC helicopter maintenance routine will keep your aircraft flying safely and reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I replace the main rotor blades on my Blade 200 SR X? — Main rotor blades should be replaced if they become visibly damaged, cracked, bent, or warped, as these conditions will affect flight stability and control response. Even minor bends can cause vibration and make the helicopter difficult to control. Additionally, if you notice your helicopter becoming more difficult to hover or control smoothly, worn or damaged blades may be the culprit. For regular flyers who use their helicopter several times per week, replacing blades every few months as preventative maintenance is a sensible approach.
- Are these blades easy to install on my RC helicopter? — Yes, these blades are designed for straightforward installation. Most RC helicopter pilots can replace their main rotor blades in just a few minutes using basic tools. The blades attach to your helicopter's main rotor head using the standard Blade 200 SR X mounting system. If you're unfamiliar with blade replacement, your helicopter's instruction manual will include step-by-step guidance, or you can contact our knowledgeable customer service team for assistance.
- How do I know these are genuine Blade blades and not counterfeit alternatives? — These blades are sourced directly from Horizon Hobby, the official manufacturer and distributor of Blade RC helicopters and accessories. Purchasing from an authorised UK retailer like RC Model Shop guarantees you receive genuine, factory-original components. Counterfeit blades may have poor aerodynamic characteristics, durability issues, and fitment problems that can compromise your flying experience and safety.
- Can I use these blades as upgrades to improve my helicopter's performance? — These are replacement blades that match the original Blade 200 SR X specifications. They will restore your helicopter to factory performance standards if your current blades are damaged or worn. For performance modifications and upgrades, Blade offers alternative blade options such as the Night Blade Set 235mm, which may provide different flight characteristics. Consult your helicopter's documentation or contact our team for information about compatible upgrade options.
- What's the difference between plastic and carbon fibre rotor blades? — Plastic blades like this set offer excellent durability and value for standard flying, whilst carbon fibre alternatives provide lighter weight and enhanced stiffness, potentially improving responsiveness and reducing battery drain. Carbon fibre blades are typically more expensive and more fragile, making them better suited to experienced pilots flying in controlled environments. For most recreational flying, these genuine plastic blades provide outstanding performance and reliability.
