Key Features

Using genuine spares rather than aftermarket alternatives guarantees compatibility and reliable performance.
- FBL System Compatible — These grip arms are specifically engineered for the flybarless control system on the Blade 360 CFX, which means they work seamlessly with your helicopter's flight controller and servo systems to deliver precise, stable flight control without the mechanical complexity of traditional flybar designs.
- 360 CFX Platform Specific — These arms are purpose-built for the 360 CFX model, ensuring perfect fitment and eliminating any guesswork about compatibility. The precise engineering means no modification or adjustment is required during installation.
- Essential Swashplate Component — As part of the critical swashplate assembly, these grip arms directly affect your helicopter's control response and stability. Maintaining them in good condition is vital for safe, controllable flight.

Technical Performance
The BLH Fbl Main Grip Arms are precision-engineered components within the 360 CFX's flybarless control system. These arms serve as the mechanical linkage between the servo-controlled swashplate and the main rotor blades, translating cyclic control inputs into blade pitch changes. The 360 CFX platform is a popular intermediate RC helicopter that balances ease of setup with genuine flying performance, and these grip arms are critical to maintaining that balance. Built to Blade's engineering standards, the arms provide smooth, responsive control throughout your flight envelope. The flybarless system eliminates the traditional mechanical flybar while maintaining exceptional stability through electronic gyro stabilisation, and these arms are integral to that system's operation. Over time, grip arms can wear, crack, or become damaged through crashes or hard landings, which is why keeping these genuine spares on hand is a sensible investment for any 360 CFX pilot. The precise tolerances and materials used in these components ensure that when you do need to replace them, your helicopter's control characteristics remain unchanged, allowing you to return to flying with confidence.
