Key Features

• Genuine Blade component — This is an official OEM (original equipment manufacturer) swashplate designed and engineered by Blade specifically for the 120 S helicopter, ensuring perfect fitment and authentic performance characteristics that match your aircraft's original specification.
• Critical helicopter control component — The swashplate is the mechanical interface between your RC transmitter's control inputs and the main rotor blade pitch adjustments, making it fundamental to stable and responsive flight control in your micro helicopter.
• Durable construction — Built to withstand the demands of regular flying whilst maintaining precise tolerances necessary for smooth collective and cyclic control inputs without binding or mechanical play.
• Direct replacement part — Compatible specifically with the Blade 120 S RC helicopter, making installation straightforward for anyone familiar with basic RC helicopter maintenance and repair.

Technical Performance

The Blade 120 S swashplate is engineered to exacting tolerances to ensure precise control authority and smooth operation throughout the full range of cyclic and collective pitch control. As the mechanical linkage assembly connecting your transmitter inputs to main rotor blade pitch adjustments, the swashplate must operate with minimal friction and zero mechanical play to maintain the responsive handling that the Blade 120 S is known for. The component is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Blade 120 S main frame, main shaft, feathering spindle, and servo linkage system. This swashplate works in conjunction with your helicopter's servo system (the Spektrum servos used in the 120 S include models such as the SPMSH2029L at 35mm and SPMSH2030L at 60mm) to translate control stick movements into precise mechanical adjustments. The part is engineered from durable materials capable of handling repeated operation cycles across numerous flights whilst maintaining the factory-spec precision necessary for stable hovering and responsive manoeuvres. When combined with genuine Blade components such as the main motor (BLH4103), main shaft (BLH4105), feathering spindle (BLH3113) and rotor head linkage (BLH3115), the swashplate ensures your Blade 120 S operates at peak performance. Regular inspection and replacement of the swashplate as part of routine maintenance ensures longevity of your helicopter's control system and consistent flight performance over extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Blade 120 S swashplate compatible with other helicopter models? — No, this swashplate is engineered specifically for the Blade 120 S RC helicopter and is not compatible with other models in the Blade range such as the 120 SR or 130X. Always verify the exact model number BLH4106 matches your aircraft before ordering.
• What does a swashplate do on an RC helicopter? — The swashplate is the mechanical assembly that translates control inputs from your transmitter into cyclic (pitch and roll) and collective (up and down) adjustments on the main rotor blades. It sits at the base of the main rotor mast and is connected to your servo system via linkages, allowing precise control of blade pitch angles for stable, responsive flight.
• How often should the swashplate be replaced? — The swashplate is a durable component but can be damaged by crashes or impacts. Many RC pilots keep a spare in their crash kit for rapid replacement. If you notice stiff or binding control inputs, or if the helicopter exhibits unstable hovering characteristics, the swashplate may need inspection or replacement.
• Why should I buy genuine Blade parts instead of aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM Blade parts like this swashplate are engineered to exact factory specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and performance. Using genuine components maintains your helicopter's control precision, stability and reliability, protecting your investment in the aircraft.
• Can I install the swashplate myself? — Yes, if you have basic RC helicopter maintenance experience and access to the necessary tools. The Blade 120 S features an interactive exploded view diagram available from the manufacturer showing assembly details. If you're unfamiliar with helicopter maintenance, our experienced team at RC Model Shop are happy to provide guidance.
• What other Blade 120 S parts should I keep as spares? — The Blade 120 S spares checklist typically includes main blades (BLH4111), main shaft (BLH4105), main gear (BLH3106), feathering spindle (BLH3113), and tail rotor (BLH3117).
