Overview
The Blade BLH Aluminium Swashplate is a precision replacement airframe component designed specifically for the Revolution 235 CP RC helicopter. This essential spare part is engineered to maintain the structural integrity and performance of your model helicopter, making it an ideal replacement for users who need to repair or upgrade their existing setup. Whether you're a dedicated RC helicopter enthusiast in the UK or someone looking to keep your Revolution 235 CP in peak flying condition, this aluminium swashplate delivers the reliability and durability you expect from Blade's commitment to quality.
Made from high-grade aluminium, this swashplate component is built to withstand the demands of regular flying whilst maintaining precise mechanical tolerances. The swashplate is a critical component of your RC helicopter's control system, responsible for translating pilot inputs into blade pitch adjustments. This genuine Blade replacement ensures that your Revolution 235 CP helicopter continues to respond accurately to your commands, providing smooth and predictable flight characteristics that both beginner and experienced RC helicopter pilots depend on.
At RC Model Shop, we stock genuine Blade spares and upgrades for the Revolution 235 CP, ensuring you have access to authentic parts that meet the manufacturer's exacting standards. This aluminium swashplate is supplied as a single unit ready for installation, making it a straightforward replacement for maintaining your model helicopter's performance.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from lightweight yet rigid aluminium alloy, this swashplate provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring precise control response whilst minimising unnecessary mass in your helicopter's main rotor assembly.
- OEM Blade Component — This is an original equipment manufacturer part designed and tested by Blade specifically for the Revolution 235 CP, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility with your model helicopter.
- Precision Engineering — The swashplate features exact dimensional tolerances required for smooth operation of the cyclic and collective pitch control systems, maintaining the responsiveness you need for controlled flight.
- Drop-In Replacement — Designed as a direct replacement part, this swashplate installs without modification or adjustment, allowing you to quickly return your Revolution 235 CP to flying condition.
- Essential Airframe Component — As a critical part of the main rotor head assembly, this swashplate is essential for translating pilot control inputs into precise blade pitch adjustments that define your helicopter's flight characteristics.
Technical Performance
The aluminium swashplate represents Blade's commitment to quality engineering in RC helicopter components. Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminium, this component is designed to endure the repetitive mechanical stresses inherent in helicopter flight whilst maintaining dimensional accuracy over extended use. The swashplate assembly works in conjunction with the servo linkage system to convert swashplate rotation and tilt into cyclic (blade pitch variation) and collective (overall blade pitch) control inputs. The precision manufacturing ensures that control inputs remain smooth and linear, preventing the play or slack that can develop in worn components. For pilots operating the Revolution 235 CP in the UK or internationally, maintaining a properly functioning swashplate is crucial for safe, predictable flight behaviour. The aluminium material provides an excellent balance between weight savings and structural rigidity, which is particularly important in small-scale helicopter designs where mass distribution significantly impacts flight stability and responsiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the BLH Aluminium Swashplate suitable for beginner RC helicopter pilots? — This is a replacement component rather than a complete model, so it's intended for users already operating a Revolution 235 CP who need to replace a worn or damaged swashplate. If you're new to RC helicopters, you should start with a complete RTR (Ready to Run) Revolution 235 CP kit, and then keep this spare on hand as your flying progresses.
- How do I know if my swashplate needs replacing? — Signs that your swashplate may need replacement include sluggish or unresponsive pitch control, notchy or jerky control movements, or visible wear and deformation of the component. If you notice your helicopter's control response deteriorating, inspecting the swashplate should be part of your troubleshooting process.
- Is this an original Blade part? — Yes, this is a genuine OEM Blade component manufactured to the original specifications for the Revolution 235 CP. The part number BLH-1775 ensures you're getting an authentic replacement that will integrate perfectly with your helicopter.
- What tools will I need to install this swashplate? — Installation requirements depend on your specific helicopter configuration and how much disassembly is necessary. Generally, basic RC helicopter maintenance tools such as small screwdrivers, hex keys, and possibly servo linkage tools will be required. Consult your Revolution 235 CP manual for detailed installation instructions specific to your model.
- Can I use this on other Blade helicopter models? — This swashplate is specifically designed for the Revolution 235 CP. Whilst some Blade components may be cross-compatible across model lines, we recommend only using parts specified for your particular helicopter model to ensure correct fitment and performance.
