Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The horns are manufactured from durable aluminium alloy rather than plastic, providing superior strength and resistance to bending or breaking under the demanding loads experienced during RC helicopter flight and control inputs. This material choice significantly extends component lifespan compared to standard plastic horns.
- Complete Hardware Kit — The set includes all necessary fasteners and components needed for installation, including M3x8mm button head bolts, ball studs, and M2.5 hex nuts, eliminating the need to source additional parts and ensuring perfect compatibility between all components.
- Multi-Horn Pack — Four servo horns are supplied in this set, providing complete coverage for a full servo installation on the Blade Fusion 700, or offering spares for future maintenance and upgrades without needing to purchase multiple smaller kits.
- Matched Hardware — The ball studs and fasteners are specifically sized and matched to the aluminium horns, ensuring proper fit and secure mechanical connections that maintain precise control linkage geometry under all flight conditions.
- Blade Fusion 700 Compatibility — These horns are engineered specifically for the Blade Fusion 700 RC helicopter, guaranteeing correct fitment and performance without requiring modifications or trial-and-error fitting during installation.
- Genuine Blade Component — As an official Blade part manufactured to OEM specifications, this servo horn set meets the exact standards expected by Blade and provides the reliability and performance quality you can depend on for competitive or recreational RC helicopter flying.
Technical Performance
The Blade BLH-1728 represents a significant performance upgrade for any Blade Fusion 700 RC helicopter owner. Constructed from quality aluminium alloy, these servo horns resist the fatigue cracking and failure modes commonly seen in plastic alternatives, particularly in high-performance flight operations or after extended use. The four-horn configuration allows for complete servo horn replacement across the helicopter's primary control surfaces, ensuring consistent mechanical performance and eliminating mixed-material installations that might introduce control inconsistencies. The included M3x8mm button head bolts provide secure fastening with a clean, low-profile design that maintains the helicopter's aerodynamic profile without creating snag points. The matched M2.5 hex nuts ensure vibration-resistant connections that remain secure throughout extended flight sessions. Ball studs included in the kit enable smooth mechanical articulation of the control linkages, critical for maintaining responsive and precise helicopter control authority. The aluminium material offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that the upgrade enhances durability without adding unnecessary mass that might negatively impact helicopter performance or balance. Whether you're replacing worn components or proactively upgrading from plastic to metal construction, this kit addresses the real mechanical demands of RC helicopter operation in the UK and internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Blade BLH-1728 servo horn set designed for? — The Blade BLH-1728 is specifically engineered for the Blade Fusion 700 RC helicopter. It provides aluminium servo horns and matching hardware as either replacement components or an upgrade from plastic construction, suitable for RC helicopter enthusiasts operating in the UK and worldwide.
- Why should I upgrade from plastic to aluminium servo horns? — Aluminium servo horns offer superior durability and resistance to cracking or bending compared to plastic alternatives. For demanding RC helicopter flight, where precise control inputs and mechanical reliability are essential, the upgraded material construction extends component lifespan and reduces the risk of mid-flight servo horn failure that could compromise control authority.
- Does this kit include everything needed for installation? — Yes, the kit is comprehensive. It supplies four aluminium servo horns, four M3x8mm button head bolts, four ball studs, and four M2.5 hex nuts—all the components required for installation on the Blade Fusion 700 without needing to purchase additional fasteners or hardware separately.
- Can I use these horns on other RC helicopters? — These horns are specifically designed and tested for compatibility with the Blade Fusion 700 RC helicopter. Whilst the horns may physically resemble components for other models, using them on different helicopter types could result in improper fitment, control geometry issues, or performance problems. Always verify compatibility before installation on alternative models.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement and upgrade component kit designed for hobbyists who already own a Blade Fusion 700 helicopter and possess basic mechanical knowledge for servo horn installation. Beginners new to RC helicopter flying should focus on learning flight control and basic maintenance before undertaking component upgrades; however, this kit is accessible for anyone with basic mechanical skills willing to follow installation guidance.
- What tools do I need to install these servo horns? — The source documentation does not specify required tools. Generally, RC helicopter servo horn installation requires appropriate hex key wrenches to fit the M3 and M2.5 fasteners, and potentially a small screwdriver for servo connection adjustment. Consult the Blade Fusion 700 manual for specific installation guidance.
