Key Features
- Complete Spindle Shaft — The heart of this service kit is the tail spindle shaft itself, which serves as the central rotating component of your tail rotor assembly and must be precision-engineered to maintain accurate rotor alignment and smooth operation during flight.
- Step Washers Included — Two step washers are provided in this kit to ensure proper spacing and alignment of the spindle components, which is critical for maintaining correct tail rotor blade tracking and preventing vibration that could compromise flight stability.
- M3x8mm Fastening Bolts — The set includes two M3x8mm bolts which are the correct size and specification for securing the spindle assembly, ensuring that all components remain firmly in place under the rotational forces experienced during normal flight operations.
- Spindle Washers for Protection — Two spindle washers are included to provide additional protection for the spindle shaft and to help distribute loads evenly across the assembly, preventing premature wear and extending the service life of your tail rotor mechanism.
- Genuine Blade OEM Parts — Every component in this kit is manufactured to original Blade specifications, guaranteeing perfect fitment and performance with your Fusion 700 helicopter and eliminating the risk of compatibility issues or performance degradation that can occur with third-party alternatives.

Technical Performance
The Blade BLH-1664 Tail Spindle represents precision engineering applied to one of the most critical components of your Fusion 700 helicopter's tail rotor system. The spindle shaft is the central rotating element that supports and drives the tail rotor blades, and its performance directly impacts the stability, control response, and overall flight characteristics of your aircraft. By using genuine Blade replacement components, you ensure that your helicopter maintains factory-specification performance and reliability. The inclusion of step washers and spindle washers demonstrates Blade's attention to detail in component design, as these washers serve critical functions in load distribution and alignment precision. When the tail spindle becomes worn or damaged through normal operation or accidental impact, replacement with genuine Blade parts like the BLH-1664 restores your helicopter to its intended performance specifications. The M3x8mm fastening bolts provided are engineered to the exact specification required for secure attachment without over-tightening, which could damage precision-machined components. RC pilots across the UK who maintain their Fusion 700 helicopters with genuine Blade spare parts consistently report longer component service life, more reliable flight operations, and better overall investment value compared to those who use inferior replacement components. This spindle kit represents a small but important investment in the continued health and performance of your aircraft.
