Technical Performance
The Blade BLH-1725 Follower Arm is engineered with precision tolerances to ensure smooth operation within the swashplate mechanism of your Blade Fusion 700. The component interfaces with the helicopter's cyclic control system, translating stick inputs into blade pitch changes that control aircraft attitude and movement. The inclusion of four precision 3x6x2.5mm bearings ensures minimal friction and wear, maintaining the crisp, responsive control feel that RC helicopter pilots demand. The bearing spacers — both short and long variants — allow for proper preload adjustment and axial alignment, critical factors in achieving consistent, predictable helicopter handling. The M3 step washers protect bearing races and distribute loads evenly across the assembly. This is a standard replacement part for the Blade Fusion 700, meaning it restores your helicopter to factory specifications and performance standards. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on a well-used helicopter or repairing damage from a crash, the BLH-1725 returns your aircraft to full operational capability with the same precision engineering Blade is known for throughout the RC helicopter community across the UK and beyond.

- Why choose genuine Blade parts over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Blade parts are engineered to exact OEM specifications, ensuring perfect fitment, reliable operation and the precise control characteristics your helicopter was designed to deliver. Aftermarket alternatives may introduce inconsistencies or compatibility issues that affect flight performance and safety.
- What is the difference between the short and long bearing spacers? — Both spacer variants are included in this kit, allowing you to achieve proper axial preload and alignment for your specific follower arm assembly. The choice between them depends on your helicopter's current setup and any wear adjustments needed during maintenance.
