The BLH Tail Motor 120 S represents precision engineering for small-scale RC helicopter applications. As a replacement component for the Blade 120 S, this motor is specifically calibrated to provide the correct tail rotor speed and torque characteristics needed for stable flight. The motor is built to withstand the demands of regular flying whilst remaining compact and lightweight, which is essential for maintaining the Blade 120 S's excellent flight characteristics and manoeuvrability.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the BLH4113 tail motor compatible with my Blade 120 S? — Yes, the BLH4113 is the genuine replacement tail motor for the Blade 120 S (model BLH4100). It is engineered as a direct replacement and requires no modifications. We recommend confirming with our team if you're unsure about your specific helicopter variant.
  • How do I know if my tail motor needs replacement? — Signs that your tail motor may need replacement include reduced tail rotor responsiveness, difficulty maintaining directional stability, unusual sounds or vibrations coming from the tail boom area, or physical damage from a crash. If you're experiencing any of these issues, a replacement tail motor may restore your helicopter's performance.
  • What battery does the Blade 120 S use? — The Blade 120 S typically operates with an E-flite 500mAh 3.7V 1S 25C LiPo battery or compatible alternatives. This lightweight battery provides excellent flight time for the aircraft's size and is readily available in the UK.
  • Can I upgrade my tail motor to improve performance? — The BLH4113 is the genuine specification motor for the Blade 120 S. For detailed advice on performance upgrades or modifications to your helicopter, we recommend contacting our expert team who can discuss options and ensure any changes maintain the aircraft's balance and safety characteristics.
  • How long does a tail motor typically last? — With proper maintenance and normal recreational flying, a quality motor should provide years of reliable service. However, crashes, water damage, or bearing wear can reduce motor lifespan. Having spare motors on hand is a smart practice for regular RC helicopter pilots.
  • Is this suitable for beginners? — The Blade 120 S itself is highly recommended for beginners, and this replacement motor is the correct part for that platform. If you're new to helicopter repairs, we recommend consulting our team or basic maintenance guides before attempting motor replacement.
  • What other Blade 120 S spares should I keep in stock? — We recommend building a basic crash kit including main blades (BLH4111), main rotor hub (BLH3112), feathering spindle (BLH3113), tail rotor (BLH3117), and hardware packs. This allows you to quickly repair most common crash damage and get back flying.
