Overview
The Blade Grip Linkage Set: Revolution 90 FP is an essential replacement component for maintaining and repairing your Blade Revolution 90 FP helicopter. Whether you're an experienced RC helicopter enthusiast or someone new to the hobby of RC flying in the UK, this genuine Blade airframe part ensures your helicopter continues to deliver the precise control and smooth operation you depend on. The grip linkage set specifically addresses the critical connection between your grip controls and the swashplate mechanism, which is fundamental to maintaining accurate cyclic and pitch control during flight.
This is a standard maintenance and repair component that every Revolution 90 FP owner should have on hand. Over time, grip-to-swashplate linkages can wear, become bent, or sustain damage from impacts or rough landings. Rather than attempting to repair damaged linkages or compromise your flying experience with worn components, replacing them with genuine Blade parts restores your helicopter to its original performance standards. RC Model Shop stocks this authentic component to keep your Revolution 90 FP flying reliably, whether you're practising basic manoeuvres or pushing the boundaries of what this capable machine can achieve.
When you purchase spare parts for your RC helicopter UK setup, quality and compatibility matter enormously. Genuine Blade components are engineered specifically for the Revolution 90 FP airframe and flight control system, ensuring perfect fit and optimal performance. This grip linkage set represents the kind of genuine, OEM-quality spares that serious RC enthusiasts and casual flyers alike rely on to keep their helicopters in top condition.
Key Features
- Genuine Blade Component — These are authentic, factory-manufactured parts designed by Blade specifically for the Revolution 90 FP helicopter, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and performance that third-party alternatives simply cannot match.
- Grip-to-Swashplate Linkage Design — Each linkage in this set connects your control inputs directly to the swashplate mechanism, which means maintaining or replacing these parts is essential for preserving precise, responsive cyclic control during flight.
- Restores Smooth Operation — Worn or damaged linkages can introduce play, binding, or inconsistency into your control response, making your helicopter feel sluggish or unpredictable; this replacement set eliminates those problems and returns your aircraft to its design specifications.
- Professional Maintenance Solution — Whether you're performing routine maintenance, repairing collision damage, or restoring an older Revolution 90 FP to flying condition, this set provides the exact components you need without guesswork or compatibility concerns.
- Two Complete Linkages Included — The set provides two grip-to-swashplate linkages, giving you redundancy for spares or the ability to service both sides of your swashplate assembly in one purchase.
- Airframe Parts Category — Classified as airframe parts, these linkages are structural and functional components essential to your helicopter's stability, control authority, and overall flight behaviour.
Technical Performance
The Blade Grip Linkage Set represents precision engineering in RC helicopter design. These linkages are the mechanical interface between your pilot inputs and the swashplate tilting mechanism that controls blade pitch and cyclic movement. The Revolution 90 FP is renowned for its stable flight characteristics and responsive control, which depends entirely on having accurate, wear-free linkage connections. When linkages deteriorate, even slightly, the cumulative effect on control feel is significant—your inputs become less direct, and the helicopter's response becomes sluggish or inconsistent. These genuine Blade components are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring they fit precisely within the Revolution 90 FP's control linkage assembly. The materials used are selected for durability and resistance to the stresses imposed during flight, including the constant articulation during cyclic control input and the repetitive nature of normal flying. For serious RC helicopter enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and precision, using genuine Blade spares like this linkage set is not just recommended—it's essential. The engineering quality built into these components reflects Blade's commitment to making helicopters that perform predictably and respond exactly as the pilot intends.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I replace the grip linkage set on my Revolution 90 FP? — You should replace grip linkages if you notice sluggish control response, excessive play in the cyclic control input, inconsistent pitch authority, visible bending or damage to the linkage rods, or if you've had a hard landing or impact. Even if damage isn't obvious, if your helicopter feels less responsive than it should, worn linkages are a likely culprit.
- Are these linkages compatible with other Blade helicopters? — These linkages are specifically engineered for the Blade Revolution 90 FP model. Always verify compatibility with your specific helicopter model before purchasing. This product is designated as the standard fitment for the Revolution 90 FP.
- How difficult is it to replace the grip linkages myself? — Replacing grip-to-swashplate linkages requires disassembly of your helicopter's frame and linkage assembly, along with familiarity with helicopter construction. If you are experienced with RC helicopter maintenance and repairs, this is a straightforward task. If you are relatively new to helicopter repair, you may prefer to have a qualified technician perform the installation to ensure proper alignment and tension in the control linkage system.
- What causes grip linkages to wear out? — Grip linkages wear due to normal flight operation, the constant articulation and movement during control inputs, impacts or crashes, exposure to dust and debris, and the natural fatigue of materials under stress over time. Hard landings, aggressive flying, or crashes will accelerate wear.
- Why should I choose genuine Blade parts instead of aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Blade components are engineered and manufactured to the exact specifications of your Revolution 90 FP, ensuring perfect fit, correct bearing tolerances, and compatibility with all other components in your helicopter's control system. Aftermarket or generic linkages may have slight dimensional variations that result in poor fit, binding, or loose play, which directly impacts control quality and can compromise flight safety.
