Overview
The BLH Vertical Tail Fin/Motor Mount Set is an essential replacement and upgrade component for Blade RC helicopter enthusiasts across the UK. This genuine Blade part (model Z-BLH9305) is specifically designed for the Blade 130 S and Blade 150 S RC helicopter ranges, offering riders a reliable way to maintain or enhance their aircraft's performance. Whether you're recovering from a crash, upgrading to improved components, or building a ready to run RC helicopter from spare parts, this vertical tail fin and motor mount combination delivers the quality and precision engineering Blade is renowned for among the RC helicopter community.
Blade has established itself as a trusted manufacturer within the RC hobby sector, and their commitment to producing quality spare parts means that RC Model Shop customers can confidently invest in genuine components that maintain the flight characteristics and reliability of their helicopters. The vertical tail fin is a critical aerodynamic element, while the motor mount ensures precise alignment and secure attachment of the tail motor assembly. For anyone serious about RC helicopter flying in the UK, having access to authentic Blade spares like this set is essential for keeping aircraft airworthy and performing at their best.
This product represents excellent value for RC helicopter pilots who understand the importance of using genuine manufacturer components rather than inferior counterfeit alternatives. The 130 S and 150 S models are popular entry-level and intermediate RC helicopters in the UK market, with many pilots maintaining fleets of these machines for learning, recreational flying, and competitive purposes. The ability to source replacement parts quickly and reliably is what separates serious hobbyists from casual users, and RC Model Shop is here to provide exactly that service.
Key Features
- Genuine Blade Manufacture — This component is manufactured by Blade, ensuring it meets the exact specifications and quality standards required for your helicopter. Using genuine manufacturer parts maintains your aircraft's flight characteristics and aerodynamic performance rather than risking compatibility issues with aftermarket alternatives.
- Dual-Function Design — The set combines both the vertical tail fin and motor mount in one package, providing everything you need for complete tail assembly repairs or upgrades. This integrated approach eliminates the need to source multiple components separately and ensures perfect compatibility between both elements.
- Compatible with Multiple Models — Designed to fit the Blade 130 S BNF Basic with SAFE Technology and the Blade 150 S range (including both the standard BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE, and the 150 S Smart variant with AS3X and SAFE). This versatility makes it a valuable spare part for pilots operating multiple Blade helicopter models.
- Precision Engineering — The motor mount provides accurate alignment and secure fastening of the tail rotor motor, which is critical for smooth tail control response and stable hovering characteristics during flight. A poorly fitted motor mount can compromise your helicopter's handling and increase mechanical wear.
- Aerodynamic Design — The vertical tail fin is engineered to provide the correct aerodynamic properties required for directional stability and tail authority during manoeuvres. Damaged or incorrect fin geometry can significantly impact your helicopter's ability to track straight and maintain stable flight.
Technical Performance
The Blade Vertical Tail Fin/Motor Mount Set represents the manufacturer's commitment to precision engineering in RC helicopter components. The vertical tail fin is the aerodynamic element responsible for providing directional stability and assisting with yaw control authority throughout your flight envelope. The motor mount securely fastens the tail rotor motor assembly while maintaining precise alignment with the tail boom structure, which is essential for smooth tail servo response and balanced rotor operation. Blade's engineering team has designed this set to integrate seamlessly with the electrical and mechanical systems of the 130 S and 150 S helicopter models, which are equipped with advanced stabilisation systems including SAFE Technology (Blade's Simplified Aero Flyer Experience) on all compatible variants, and AS3X technology on the 150 S models. The 150 S Smart model features both AS3X gyro stabilisation and SAFE flight envelope protection, making it one of the most forgiving RC helicopters available in the UK market. The construction materials and manufacturing tolerances of this tail fin and motor mount set are designed to withstand the demands of regular RC helicopter flying, including recovery from impacts and the vibration loads generated by rotating tail rotor systems. Whether you're replacing damaged components after a crash or performing routine maintenance, this genuine Blade part ensures your helicopter maintains its original flight characteristics and performance envelope. The precise fitment of these components is particularly important for the Blade 130 S and 150 S, as their relatively compact size means that even small misalignments can affect overall stability and control response.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Blade helicopters is this vertical tail fin and motor mount set compatible with? — This Z-BLH9305 set is specifically designed for the Blade 130 S BNF Basic with SAFE Technology, the Blade 150 S BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE, and the Blade 150 S Smart BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE. Always verify your specific helicopter model before ordering to ensure perfect compatibility and correct fitment.
- Is this a standard part or an optional upgrade for my Blade 130 S or 150 S? — According to Blade's compatibility documentation, this vertical tail fin and motor mount set is listed as a standard part for both the 130 S and 150 S model ranges, meaning it may be included with new helicopters or required as a replacement component if damaged. However, it is also available as an optional purchase for pilots wanting spare components or upgrade options.
- Why would I need to replace my vertical tail fin and motor mount? — The vertical tail fin can be damaged through crash landings, hard impacts, or general wear and tear from regular flying. The motor mount can become loose, cracked, or misaligned through vibration and mechanical stress. Replacing both components together as a set ensures your tail assembly is properly balanced and functionally optimised, maintaining smooth control response and stable hovering performance.
- Will this part maintain my helicopter's flight characteristics? — Yes, because this is a genuine Blade part manufactured to the original specification, it will maintain your helicopter's flight characteristics exactly as designed. Using counterfeit or non-manufacturer parts risks altered aerodynamics and control response, potentially compromising your flying experience and safety margins.
- Do I need any special tools to install this vertical tail fin and motor mount set? — For detailed installation instructions and required tools, consult the instruction manual for your specific Blade 130 S or 150 S helicopter model. Most Blade replacement parts are designed for straightforward installation using common RC tools and screwdrivers, though we recommend having the manual available before beginning any maintenance or repair work.
