Technical Performance
The BLH-1714 Tail Rotor Damper Set delivers the engineering quality you'd expect from a Blade product designed specifically for the Fusion 700 helicopter platform. The dampers are manufactured from durable POM (polyoxymethylene), a rigid engineering plastic that offers excellent vibration damping properties whilst maintaining long-term durability in demanding flight conditions. The four-piece configuration allows for complete replacement of the damper assembly in the tail rotor hub, restoring the helicopter's ability to absorb impact forces and vibrations that naturally occur during flight. The POM material resists degradation from UV exposure and temperature fluctuations commonly experienced during outdoor RC flying, ensuring consistent performance over extended service life. These dampers work in conjunction with the Fusion 700's tail rotor system to provide the precision control and stability required for smooth, controlled flight in various wind conditions and flight scenarios.
