Overview
The Blade Swashplate Linkage Set for Fusion 700 (BLH-1707) is an essential maintenance and repair component for RC helicopter enthusiasts in the UK who operate the Blade Fusion 700 model. This spare parts set is specifically engineered to maintain the swashplate assembly, which is critical to your helicopter's control system and overall flight performance. Whether you are a seasoned RC pilot carrying out routine maintenance or addressing wear and tear from regular flying, having genuine Blade replacement parts on hand ensures you can minimise downtime and keep your aircraft in peak condition.
The swashplate-to-head control system is one of the most important mechanical assemblies in any RC helicopter, and regular maintenance is essential for safe and reliable operation. Over time, linkages can wear, become damaged, or lose their precision, affecting your helicopter's responsiveness and flight characteristics. This complete linkage set brings together everything you need to refresh this critical system in one convenient package, making it the perfect addition to any RC modeller's spares box. For UK RC pilots who demand like-for-like replacement parts from the same brand as their aircraft, the BLH-1707 offers genuine Blade engineering and compatibility.
RC Model Shop stocks this essential spare as part of our comprehensive range of Blade Fusion 700 parts and upgrades. Whether you are performing planned maintenance between flying sessions or executing emergency repairs, having the correct hardware to hand helps keep your helicopter ready for action. This set is suitable for any pilot who wants to maintain their Blade Fusion 700 to factory specifications using genuine manufacturer components.
Key Features
- Three Complete Swashplate Linkages — The set includes three swashplate linkages, giving you a full replacement set for the swashplate assembly, ensuring your helicopter's control system operates with precision and responsiveness during flight.
- Six Ball Links Included — These precision ball links are essential components that connect the linkages to the swashplate head, and having six replacements ensures you have spares for all connection points in your system.
- Six Ball Link Hubs — The matching ball link hubs complete the assembly package, providing the attachment points that allow the linkages to articulate smoothly without play or binding.
- Genuine Blade Components — Every component in this set is manufactured by Blade and designed specifically for the Fusion 700, guaranteeing perfect fitment, durability and reliable operation compared to aftermarket alternatives.
- Straightforward Replacement — The complete set means you can replace all worn or damaged swashplate linkage components in one go, rather than sourcing parts individually, saving you time and ensuring consistency across your helicopter.
- Essential Maintenance Tool — For any RC helicopter pilot in the UK who values reliability, this set belongs in your maintenance kit as part of regular upkeep and preventative care for your Fusion 700.
Technical Performance
The Blade BLH-1707 Swashplate Linkage Set represents precision engineering designed specifically for the Fusion 700 helicopter platform. The swashplate assembly is the mechanical heart of your helicopter's control authority, translating pilot input from the transmitter into precise blade pitch changes that control lift, roll, pitch and yaw. This linkage set has been engineered to exacting Blade specifications to ensure zero play, smooth articulation, and consistent response across all control inputs. The ball links and hubs are manufactured from durable materials designed to withstand the constant mechanical cycling that occurs during normal flight operations. Each component is precisely dimensioned to original factory tolerances, ensuring that when installed, your helicopter's swashplate will operate with the same precision as when new. The materials selected for these components provide a good balance between weight and durability, contributing to overall helicopter performance without adding unnecessary mass to the control system. For serious RC helicopter pilots in the UK who demand reliability and authenticity, these genuine Blade components represent the correct choice for maintaining your aircraft to manufacturer specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Blade BLH-1707 Swashplate Linkage Set suitable for beginners? — This is a genuine spare parts set rather than a complete helicopter, so it is intended for RC pilots who already own and operate a Blade Fusion 700. If you are new to RC helicopters, you should first purchase a complete ready-to-fly Fusion 700 kit, then add this spare set to your maintenance supplies as you gain experience and understanding of helicopter maintenance requirements.
- What maintenance schedule should I follow for swashplate linkages? — Swashplate linkage maintenance depends on flight frequency and intensity. Regular visual inspection during pre-flight checks will reveal any looseness, wear or damage. This spare set is ideal to have on hand so you can replace components as needed without waiting for new parts to arrive, minimising downtime between flying sessions.
- Will these linkages work with other Blade helicopter models? — No, the BLH-1707 is specifically designed for the Blade Fusion 700. Other Blade models have different swashplate geometries and linkage dimensions. Always verify compatibility with your specific helicopter model before purchasing spares to ensure proper fitment and safe operation.
- What tools do I need to install the BLH-1707 linkage set? — Basic RC helicopter tools including hex wrenches and possibly small pliers will be needed for installation, though this is not included with the spare set. If you are unsure about installation procedures, consult your Fusion 700 manual or contact RC Model Shop for guidance.
- Why should I choose genuine Blade parts over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Blade components are engineered to exact specifications for your helicopter and are tested to meet Blade's quality standards. Aftermarket parts can introduce play, binding or fitment issues that compromise your helicopter's control precision and flight safety. For the reliability that serious RC pilots expect, genuine manufacturer parts are the recommended choice.
