Technical Performance
The Blade BLH-1672 Motor Mount Frame Stiffener is engineered from aluminium, a premium material choice that offers exceptional balance between structural rigidity and lightweight performance. This is particularly important in RC helicopter applications, where every gram of weight directly impacts flight duration and overall performance. The two-piece design, comprising separate left and right components, allows for precise engineering of each section to ensure optimal load distribution around the motor mount assembly. The motor mount represents one of the most structurally demanding areas of an RC helicopter frame, as it must support the weight and vibration of the motor whilst maintaining perfect alignment to ensure efficient power transmission and stable flight characteristics. By replacing worn or damaged frame stiffening components with these genuine Blade parts, you restore the original structural integrity of your Fusion 700 helicopter, which is essential for maintaining safe flight operations and extending the service life of other components including the motor, gearbox and drive shafts. The precision manufacturing of Blade spares means that fitment is guaranteed without any adjustment or modification, allowing you to complete repairs quickly and confidently. These components are designed to integrate seamlessly with all other Fusion 700 parts, ensuring compatibility and consistent performance across the entire aircraft.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Blade BLH-1672 frame stiffener compatible with my Blade Fusion 700? — Yes, this component is specifically designed for the Blade Fusion 700 RC helicopter and is a genuine Blade part manufactured to exact factory specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility without any modification or adjustment required.
- Why would I need to replace the motor mount frame stiffener? — The motor mount area experiences significant stress during flight operations due to motor vibration and the forces generated during manoeuvres. Over time, the aluminium frame components can become worn, bent or damaged. Replacing these parts restores structural integrity, ensures safe flight operations and can improve overall helicopter performance by maintaining proper motor alignment and reducing vibration.
- Can I replace just one side of the motor mount frame stiffener? — Whilst the parts are supplied as a matched pair (left and right), you can technically replace just one side if only one is damaged. However, for optimal performance and balanced structural support, it is recommended to replace both sides simultaneously to ensure consistent performance characteristics across the entire motor mount assembly.

Most RC helicopter pilots with basic mechanical knowledge and standard model-building tools can complete the installation. If you are uncertain about any aspect of the installation process, RC Model Shop's experienced team are happy to provide advice and guidance.
- How often will I need to replace this component? — The lifespan of the motor mount frame stiffener depends on how frequently you fly your Fusion 700 and the intensity of your flying. Regular inspection of the frame for signs of wear, bending or damage will help you identify when replacement is necessary. For active pilots, checking these components every 20-30 hours of flight time is recommended.
