Overview
Designed for modelers who want to display their Wessex or H-34 with the main rotor blades folded, the Rotor Fold Set – Basic provides the essential components needed to recreate the distinctive folded rotor configuration with accurate geometry and clean, straightforward assembly.
At the heart of the set is a single-piece, pre-aligned main support frame, designed to eliminate the difficult alignment work normally associated with building the complex support structure from separate parts. The set also includes fully articulated blade joints, flexible blade holders and adjustable telescopic links, allowing the folded blades to be positioned naturally and accurately.
The set is designed to work with the kit’s original main rotor hub, making it an ideal choice for modelers who want a convincing folded-rotor display without replacing the complete rotor assembly.
Engineered Detail
Purpose-designed components developed as a complete working system — combining accurate geometry, articulated connections and practical assembly solutions.
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 to make blade installation easier while maintaining a secure hold.
Articulated Blade Joints
Pin-jointed connections allow each blade to be positioned individually for natural and accurate folded alignment.
Complete Blade Support System
Individual blade holders and adjustable support links work together as a complete system, allowing precise and natural positioning of the folded blades.
Kit Rotor Integration
Designed to work with the kit’s original rotor hub while adding articulated folding connections for individual blade positioning.
