Technical Performance
The BLH Tail Pushrod Guide is engineered to exacting standards to ensure smooth operation of the Fusion 180's tail control system. As part of the tail assembly linkage network, this component must transmit control inputs from the tail servo with precision and without binding or play. The pushrod guide maintains proper alignment of the control rod, preventing excessive wear on the linkage and ensuring that tail control inputs are translated accurately to tail rotor pitch changes. RC helicopter pilots appreciate components that deliver reliable performance across a wide range of flight conditions, and this genuine Blade part is designed to do exactly that. When used as part of a properly maintained tail assembly—alongside components like the tail servo boom mount and tail belt guide—the pushrod guide contributes to vibration-free flight and consistent directional hold. For UK-based RC enthusiasts looking to maintain their Fusion 180 in peak condition, using genuine manufacturer parts like this pushrod guide is an investment in flight safety and performance longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need a replacement tail pushrod guide for my Fusion 180? — The tail pushrod guide is a wear item that can be damaged during crashes or heavy use. If you notice loose or imprecise tail control, or if the guide has visible damage, replacement is recommended to restore crisp tail authority and prevent further damage to the tail servo and linkage system.
- Is this a genuine Blade part? — Yes, this is an authentic Blade component manufactured by Blade Helicopters and specified for the Fusion 180 platform. Purchasing genuine parts ensures compatibility and performance reliability.
- What other tail components should I stock as spares? — Blade recommends keeping a spare main shaft, feathering shaft, main gear and a set of blades in your field box. For the tail system specifically, having spares of the tail boom, tail shaft with pulley, tail grip set, and this pushrod guide will prepare you for most field repairs.
- Can I use non-genuine pushrod guides? — While some aftermarket alternatives may fit, genuine Blade components are engineered for the specific clearances and load requirements of the Fusion 180. Using authentic parts minimises the risk of binding, premature wear, or control system failure.
- How often should I inspect my tail pushrod guide? — RC helicopter experts recommend inspecting tail components regularly, particularly after any flight session that includes impacts or crashes. Look for cracks, bent sections, or signs of binding. Replace early to maintain vibration-free flight and prevent component damage cascading through the tail assembly.
- What is the difference between this and other Fusion 180 tail parts? — The tail pushrod guide (BLH5811) is specifically the control linkage guide. It works in tandem with other parts: the tail servo boom mount (BLH5810) holds the servo position; the tail belt guide (BLH5809) manages the belt routing; the tail boom (BLH5812) provides structural support; and the tail shaft with pulley (BLH5816) transfers rotational force. Each component plays a distinct role in the complete tail rotor system.
