Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Construction — The frame is manufactured from carbon fibre material, which provides an excellent balance of light weight and exceptional strength, allowing your helicopter to respond quickly to control inputs whilst remaining robust enough to handle the stresses of flight and occasional mishaps.
- Genuine Blade Component — This is an authentic Blade spare part (model BLH4714), ensuring perfect compatibility with your Blade 360 CFX helicopter and maintaining the engineering standards that Blade designed into the aircraft.
- Essential Structural Component — As the main frame, this part forms the backbone of your helicopter's structure, holding the motor mount, servo blocks, battery tray and other critical systems in proper alignment for reliable flight performance.
- Replacement and Upgrade Part — Whether you've damaged your original frame or are simply building up a collection of spares to keep in your field box for quick repairs, this component is essential for keeping your 360 CFX airworthy.
Technical Performance
The carbon fibre main frame represents a critical engineering element in the Blade 360 CFX design. Carbon fibre has long been the material of choice for precision RC helicopters because it combines minimal weight with outstanding structural rigidity, which translates directly into better control response and more predictable flight characteristics. The frame must maintain precise tolerances to ensure that all the helicopter's systems — the motor mount, the servo mounting blocks, the battery tray, the lower bearing block and the bottom plate — align perfectly with one another. Even slight deviations can affect swashplate geometry, servo actuation and overall flight stability. By choosing the genuine Blade carbon fibre frame, you're ensuring that all these critical interfaces remain true and accurate. This is particularly important for the 360 CFX, which is a precision-oriented helicopter that rewards pilots with responsive handling and smooth flight dynamics when every component is properly aligned and manufactured to specification. The carbon fibre material also provides excellent durability for repeated use, making this a smart investment in the longevity of your flying machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the BLH Carbon Fiber Main Frame compatible with my Blade 360 CFX? — Yes, this is the genuine Blade replacement frame specifically designed for the 360 CFX helicopter. Model number BLH4714 is the correct part for this airframe. Always check your helicopter's manual to confirm you have the correct model before ordering.
- What is the difference between carbon fibre and aluminium frames? — Carbon fibre frames, like this one, offer superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminium alternatives. This means they provide the same structural integrity whilst weighing less, which directly improves your helicopter's agility and responsiveness in flight. The lighter weight also extends flight times slightly and reduces the workload on servos and motors.
- Can I use this frame as an upgrade if my current frame is still working? — Yes, many RC helicopter enthusiasts keep spare frames in their field box so they can swap out a damaged frame immediately and continue flying rather than waiting for repairs. Having a spare also allows you to inspect your helicopter thoroughly between flights, which extends the life of all components.
