Overview
The Blade BLH3916 Rotor Head Linkage Set (8) is an essential spare parts pack designed specifically for owners and enthusiasts of the Blade mCP X BL brushless RC helicopter. This small but critically important component set provides eight replacement rotor head linkages, making it the perfect solution for maintaining your micro RC helicopter in peak flying condition. Whether you're an experienced RC pilot in the UK looking to maintain your fleet or a newer enthusiast who wants to keep spare parts on hand, this genuine Blade-specified linkage set ensures your helicopter continues to perform reliably.
Rotor head linkages are fundamental mechanical components that connect the swashplate to the main rotor blades, translating control inputs from your transmitter into precise blade pitch adjustments. Over time, these linkages can become worn, bent, or damaged through regular use, crashes, or normal wear and tear. By keeping a set of quality replacement linkages in your parts box, you're ensuring minimal downtime and maximum flying enjoyment. The BLH3916 gives you peace of mind knowing you have genuine, manufacturer-approved parts ready whenever you need them.
This pack is specifically engineered for the Blade mCP X BL, a popular micro-scale brushless RC helicopter that demands precision components. RC Model Shop stocks this genuine Blade spare part to support your RC helicopter hobby, ensuring you always have access to authentic, high-quality replacement components for your micro RC fleet.

Technical Performance
The Blade BLH3916 Rotor Head Linkage Set comprises eight precision-engineered mechanical components designed to withstand the dynamic forces generated during RC helicopter flight. These linkages form the critical connection between your helicopter's swashplate mechanism and main rotor blades, directly influencing control response, stability, and overall flight characteristics. Built to Blade's specification standards, these components are manufactured from durable materials capable of handling the cyclical stresses involved in pitch adjustment during normal flying operations. The linkages must maintain precise dimensional tolerances to ensure proper alignment and prevent binding or excessive play in the swashplate assembly. Each linkage in this set has been manufactured to identical specifications, ensuring consistent performance across your spare parts inventory. The engineering behind these components reflects Blade's commitment to reliability in micro-scale RC helicopter design, where precision and durability are paramount considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are rotor head linkages and why do I need them? — Rotor head linkages are mechanical components that connect the swashplate to your main rotor blades. They translate control inputs from your transmitter into blade pitch changes, which control your helicopter's movement. Over time, these linkages can become bent, cracked, or worn through crashes or normal use, requiring replacement to maintain proper flight control and stability.
- Is this pack suitable for beginners? — Yes, this spare parts pack is suitable for all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned RC helicopter pilot maintaining a competition aircraft or a beginner learning to fly the Blade mCP X BL, having spare linkages on hand is essential for minimising downtime and maintaining your helicopter's performance during regular flying sessions.
- Will these linkages fit my Blade mCP X BL? — These linkages are specifically engineered for the Blade mCP X BL helicopter and are the direct replacement components recommended by the manufacturer. The BLH3916 part number ensures compatibility and proper fitment with your aircraft.
- How often will I need replacement linkages? — The frequency depends on your flying habits and accident rate. Regular inspection after crashes is recommended, as bent or damaged linkages will negatively impact control response. Many experienced pilots keep spare sets on hand to minimise downtime between flying sessions at their local RC flying club.
- Can I use these linkages on other Blade helicopters? — These linkages are specified for the Blade mCP X BL. For compatibility with other Blade micro RC helicopter models, we recommend checking the product compatibility information or contacting our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop.
