Overview
Designed for modelers who want a complete and highly detailed folded-rotor display, the Rotor Fold Set – Advanced combines the complete blade support system of the Basic set with an extensively detailed 28-piece main rotor head assembly.
The rotor head recreates the complex mechanical structure of the original system, including detailed linkages, cabling and structural components. Together with the single-piece, pre-aligned main support frame, fully articulated blade joints, flexible blade holders and adjustable telescopic links, the set provides a complete, positionable folded-rotor solution.
Each blade can be positioned individually, while the pre-aligned support frame preserves the correct folded geometry and simplifies assembly of the complete system.
Engineered Detail
Purpose-designed components developed as a complete working system — combining accurate geometry, articulated connections and practical assembly solutions.
28-Piece Main Rotor Head Assembly
An extensively detailed replacement rotor head recreating the complex mechanical structure, linkages, cabling and structural detail of the original system.
Complete Mechanical Detail
Detailed from above and below, the assembly reproduces the mechanical complexity visible throughout the rotor head for a convincing display from every viewing angle.
Pre-Aligned Main Support Frame
The main frame is produced as a single pre-aligned structure, preserving the complex geometry of the original support assembly while eliminating difficult multi-part alignment.
Flexible Blade Holders
Designed with controlled flexibility for easier blade installation while maintaining a secure hold.
Articulated Blade Joints
Pin-jointed connections allow individual blade positioning and natural folded alignment.
Complete Blade Support System
Individual holders and support links work together as a complete positionable system for natural blade alignment.
