Technical Performance
The Blade Aluminium Frame Spacer set represents precision engineering focused on maintaining the structural integrity of your RC helicopter. Constructed from high-quality aluminium, these spacers are engineered to maintain accurate frame spacing during maintenance, repair, and routine servicing of your Fusion 700 airframe. The material selection is deliberate—aluminium provides the strength necessary to support frame loads without adding unnecessary weight, which is critical in RC helicopter design where every gram impacts performance and flight characteristics. The inclusion of M3x12mm fasteners ensures secure installation and proper load distribution across the mounting points. For UK RC pilots operating Fusion 700 helicopters, these spacers represent the kind of foundational maintenance component that underpins reliable, consistent flight performance. Proper frame spacing is essential not only for structural integrity but also for maintaining correct aerodynamic alignment of rotor systems and control surfaces. When your spacers become worn or damaged through normal operation, having genuine Blade replacements ensures you can restore your helicopter to factory specifications without compromise.
