When combined with other main rotor assembly components such as the main rotor head (BLH1501), swashplate (BLH1505), and main shaft (BLH1506), the spindle set ensures that your helicopter maintains the precise flight characteristics and stability that make the Blade 230 S such a popular choice among UK RC helicopter enthusiasts.
