Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from lightweight aluminium material, the blade grips provide an ideal balance between strength and weight, ensuring optimal helicopter performance without adding unnecessary mass to the rotor head assembly.
- Complete Hardware Package — This set includes not just the blade grips but also link balls, radial ball bearings and thrust bearings, giving you everything needed for a complete rotor head rebuild or maintenance session without hunting for individual components elsewhere.
- Paired Blade Grips — The set contains two aluminium blade grips, allowing you to replace both grips simultaneously and ensure perfectly matched rotor head performance from your Revolution 235 CP helicopter.
- Precision Blade Bearings — Includes two radial ball bearings and two thrust bearings specifically engineered for the Revolution 235 CP, these components handle the critical rotating forces in your helicopter's rotor system with precision engineering.
- Link Ball Connectors — The included link balls provide secure mechanical connections between the blade grips and the swashplate, ensuring positive control input translation throughout your helicopter's flight envelope.
- Authorised Blade Components — As genuine Blade branded parts, these components are engineered and tested to the exact specifications of the Revolution 235 CP, eliminating any compatibility guesswork and guaranteeing perfect fitment.
Technical Performance
The BLH-1789 Aluminium Blade Grip Set represents precision engineering designed specifically for the Revolution 235 CP helicopter platform. The aluminium construction of the blade grips provides superior fatigue resistance compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring the grips maintain their integrity through hundreds of flight cycles. The radial ball bearings included in this set handle the complex forces generated by the main rotor system, allowing the rotor head to rotate smoothly whilst maintaining precision blade pitch control. The thrust bearings work in conjunction with the radial bearings to manage both radial and axial loads during normal helicopter operations. The link balls serve as the critical mechanical interface between the blade grips and the swashplate mechanism, translating pilot input from the transmitter into precise blade pitch changes. Each component has been manufactured to exacting tolerances by Blade, ensuring that when installed together, they create a rotor head assembly that responds instantly and accurately to control inputs. This attention to detail in material selection and engineering means your Revolution 235 CP will maintain consistent flight characteristics and control responsiveness throughout its operational life.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the BLH-1789 blade grip set compatible with my Revolution 235 CP? — Yes, this Blade BLH-1789 set is specifically engineered for the Revolution 235 CP helicopter and provides complete compatibility with all standard configurations of this model. The parts are designed to drop in as direct replacements for worn or damaged rotor head components.
- What maintenance does the rotor head require? — The rotor head assembly, including the blade grips, bearings and link balls, should be inspected regularly for wear, particularly if you fly frequently. The BLH-1789 set provides replacement components for all the wear items in your rotor head, making it easy to keep your helicopter in peak condition.
- How often should I replace these components? — The frequency of replacement depends on your flying schedule and conditions. Regular inspection is recommended, and if you notice any play in the blade grips, roughness in the bearings, or wear in the link balls, it's time to upgrade to fresh components like those in this set.
- Is this suitable for both beginner and experienced pilots? — Whilst this is a spare parts set rather than a complete helicopter, it's suitable for any Revolution 235 CP owner who performs their own maintenance. If you're comfortable removing and reinstalling your rotor head, you have the skills needed to fit these components.
- Why choose aluminium blade grips over plastic? — Aluminium provides superior durability and fatigue resistance compared to plastic alternatives, meaning your blade grips will maintain their precision longer and handle the stresses of regular flying more reliably.
- What's the difference between this set and individual component purchases? — Buying the complete BLH-1789 set is more convenient and cost-effective than sourcing each component separately, and it ensures all parts are genuine Blade items that work together perfectly as a system.
