Overview
The BLH Main Rotor Blade Set in green is a genuine replacement rotor blade set designed specifically for the Blade 230 S RC helicopter. Whether you're a seasoned RC helicopter enthusiast based in the UK or just discovering the world of RC flight, having a spare set of main rotor blades is essential for keeping your model airborne. Main rotor blades are consumable parts that inevitably wear, flex, or sustain damage during regular flying, crashes, or hard landings. This authentic Blade component ensures you can quickly swap out damaged blades and get back in the air without downtime.
The Blade 230 S remains one of the most popular micro RC helicopters available to UK hobbyists, renowned for its stability, manoeuvrability, and reliable performance. The green colour variant of this rotor blade set provides a distinctive visual customisation option whilst maintaining full compatibility with your helicopter's rotor head assembly. Having genuine replacement blades on hand means you're always ready for another flying session, whether you're practising basic hovering skills, performing 3D aerobatics, or simply enjoying casual outdoor flight.
RC helicopters demand precision-engineered components to maintain optimal performance and safety, and main rotor blades are absolutely critical to this equation. Counterfeit or mismatched blades can compromise flight characteristics, reduce control responsiveness, and potentially lead to unstable or dangerous flight behaviour. By choosing the genuine Blade 230 S main rotor blade set, you're investing in components engineered and tested by Horizon Hobby, the manufacturer behind Blade RC products and a recognised leader in RC helicopter design and innovation.
Key Features
- Genuine Blade Component — This is an official Blade-branded spare part manufactured by Horizon Hobby, not an aftermarket clone or third-party alternative, ensuring perfect fitment, balanced performance, and reliability with your Blade 230 S helicopter.
- Complete Blade Set — The package contains a full set of replacement rotor blades, providing you with all the components needed to restore your helicopter's primary lifting surface and restore full flight capability after damage or wear.
- Green Colour Finish — The distinctive green colouring allows you to personalise your Blade 230 S whilst maintaining authentic Blade design and aerodynamic properties, making it easily identifiable in the sky and visually distinctive from other users' helicopters.
- Direct Blade 230 S Compatibility — These blades are engineered specifically for the Blade 230 S helicopter platform, ensuring they mount directly onto your existing rotor head assembly without modification, adaptation, or additional components.
- Critical Spare Part — Main rotor blades are wear items and regular flying inevitably requires replacement, making this set an essential addition to any Blade 230 S owner's spare parts inventory and toolkit.
- Rapid Replacement Solution — Having genuine replacement blades on hand eliminates frustrating downtime waiting for parts to arrive after a crash or damage sustained during flight, allowing you to continue enjoying your RC helicopter hobby without extended breaks.
Technical Performance
The BLH Main Rotor Blade Set represents precision aeronautical engineering optimised for the Blade 230 S micro RC helicopter platform. The rotor blades are the primary lifting surfaces of your helicopter and must maintain precise balance, aerodynamic efficiency, and structural integrity throughout their operational life. Genuine Blade components are manufactured to exacting tolerances and tested extensively to ensure they deliver the predictable control authority, smooth flight response, and stability that the Blade 230 S platform is recognised for amongst RC helicopter UK enthusiasts. The blades must withstand significant centrifugal forces during operation whilst remaining light enough to maintain the excellent manoeuvrability and responsiveness that makes the Blade 230 S such a beloved micro helicopter. Over time, repeated flights, minor collisions, and exposure to outdoor elements cause gradual wear to the blade surfaces, leading to degraded aerodynamic performance, increased vibration, and reduced control precision. Replacing worn or damaged blades with this genuine Blade component restores the helicopter to factory-specification performance standards. The green colouring is applied using durable finish that resists fading from UV exposure during outdoor flying sessions. These blades integrate seamlessly with the Blade 230 S rotor head assembly, feathering linkages, and swashplate mechanism, ensuring balanced rotation and predictable flight behaviour whether you're practising hover stability or executing advanced 3D flight manoeuvres.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the Blade 230 S and Blade 230 S V2? — The Blade 230 S and Blade 230 S V2 use different components in several areas. Whilst some parts may be compatible, main rotor blades are version-specific components. Ensure you are ordering the correct Z-BLH1576 part number for the original Blade 230 S model. If you own a Blade 230 S V2, check your manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- How often do I need to replace my main rotor blades? — Main rotor blades are consumable parts that wear gradually with every flight. Regular inspection for cracks, delamination, warping, or surface damage is recommended. Most users find that blades require replacement every few months of regular flying, or immediately following any hard landing or crash where impact damage is visible.
- Will these green blades affect the flight performance of my Blade 230 S? — No, the colour finish does not alter aerodynamic properties or flight characteristics. These green blades are engineered to identical specifications as other colour variants and will provide identical control authority, stability, and response to the standard blades, whilst offering distinctive visual customisation.
- Are these genuine Blade parts or aftermarket alternatives? — The BLH Main Rotor Blade Set is a genuine Blade-branded component manufactured by Horizon Hobby. It carries the Blade Z-BLH1576 part number and meets all factory specifications for fitment and performance with the Blade 230 S helicopter.
- What other Blade 230 S spare parts should I stock? — Beyond main rotor blades, useful spares include tail rotor blades, rotor head components, feathering shaft, main shaft, servo parts, and the swashplate assembly. Consulting your Blade 230 S manual and RC Model Shop's comprehensive spares selection will help you build a practical parts inventory for quick repairs and extended flying enjoyment.
