Technical Performance
The Blade mCP X BL Main Rotor Hub with Hardware represents the precision engineering that Blade is recognised for in the micro helicopter market. This component is the mechanical interface between your main rotor blades and the swashplate control system, making it critical to the overall performance and handling of your brushless RC helicopter. Constructed to exacting tolerances, the hub ensures that blade pitch changes are transmitted smoothly and accurately from the swashplate linkage to the rotor blades themselves, which directly impacts flight stability and control responsiveness. The inclusion of all necessary hardware means the installation process is straightforward for anyone with basic RC helicopter maintenance experience. After installation, it is recommended that you check blade tracking to ensure both blades are at the same height throughout their rotation, as this is essential for smooth, efficient performance and prevents vibration that can damage other components. The engineering quality of genuine Blade parts like this hub means you can expect reliable performance for many flights to come, and it represents excellent value as a preventative spare for any mCP X BL owner who wants to keep their helicopter flying without interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Blade mCP X BL Main Rotor Hub suitable as a spare part for beginners? — Yes, this hub is suitable for anyone who owns an mCP X BL and needs a replacement. While installation requires basic mechanical skills and some familiarity with micro helicopter maintenance, the process is relatively straightforward if you follow the manual guidance. Having spare parts like this hub available is actually recommended practice for all mCP X BL owners, regardless of experience level, as it minimises flying downtime.
- Why should I keep a main rotor hub in my crash kit? — The main rotor hub is one of the most commonly damaged components during crashes and hard landings. By keeping this part in stock along with spare blades, main gear, feathering shaft, and landing skids, you can quickly return your mCP X BL to flying condition rather than waiting for parts to arrive. This crash kit approach is recommended by Blade and is standard practice among regular RC helicopter fliers in the UK.
- What is the difference between this hub and hubs for other Blade helicopters? — This hub is specifically engineered for the mCP X BL Brushless model and is not compatible with other Blade helicopter models. The mCP X BL is a brushless micro helicopter, and this hub is designed to work seamlessly with the brushless rotor head system on this specific model. Always ensure you are ordering the correct hub for your helicopter model.
- Do I need any tools to install the main rotor hub? — Installation requires basic RC helicopter maintenance tools. You will need small hex keys or screwdrivers appropriate for the fasteners provided. If you are unfamiliar with micro helicopter maintenance, it is recommended that you consult the mCP X BL manual or seek guidance from experienced fliers before attempting installation.
- What is blade tracking and why does the manual mention checking it after a rebuild? — Blade tracking refers to ensuring both main rotor blades are at exactly the same height throughout their rotation. This is critical for smooth, vibration-free flight. After installing a new hub or performing any rotor head work, you should carefully observe the blades in flight or use a tracking mark to verify they are aligned. Proper blade tracking ensures efficient performance and prevents unnecessary wear on other components.
