Technical Performance
The Blade BLH-1722 Tail Rotor Drive Belt represents genuine Blade engineering and manufacturing quality. As a critical drivetrain component for the Fusion 700 helicopter, this belt transmits rotational power from the main drive system to the tail rotor, which is essential for controlling the helicopter's yaw (rotational movement around the vertical axis). The belt must maintain consistent tension, resist wear and degradation from repeated flexing and friction, and deliver reliable power transmission during all phases of flight, from ground hover to forward flight manoeuvres. Blade manufactures this replacement belt using the same materials and construction methods as the original equipment, ensuring compatibility with the Fusion 700's mechanical specifications. Regular inspection and replacement of the tail rotor drive belt as part of your routine RC helicopter maintenance schedule will help keep your aircraft in optimal flying condition. The BLH-1722 is manufactured to withstand the demands of regular RC helicopter operation, making it an ideal choice for pilots who fly their Fusion 700 frequently and want to maintain their equipment to the highest standards.
