Technical Performance
The BLH Bottom Plate represents genuine Blade engineering applied to micro helicopter components. As a structural chassis plate for the 180 CFX platform and compatible models, this component is manufactured to exacting standards using durable materials designed to withstand the stresses of regular flying operations. The plate integrates seamlessly with the existing helicopter architecture, maintaining alignment with all mounting points and ensuring that your helicopter's main frame components are held securely in their correct positions. For serious RC helicopter enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and authenticity from their spare parts, this genuine Blade component is the only choice that makes sense.

This bottom plate has been engineered to work perfectly alongside other Blade components in the 180 CFX and Fusion 180 platforms, maintaining the tight tolerances and precision that these highly engineered micro helicopters demand.
