Radio-controlled helicopter kits and spindle sets
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Horizon Hobby has recalled the Blade 700 X Pro Series helicopter kits, combo kits, and replacement spindle sets due to a faulty main rotor washer that can fail during use. The defective flat silver washer, approximately 1/2 inch in diameter, holds the two main rotor blade grips in place. When the washer fails, the helicopter's blades can separate from the aircraft, creating a risk of injury to the operator and anyone nearby. The recalled products include model BLH5725 (Pro Series Kit), model BLH5725C (Pro Series Combo), and model BLH5703 (replacement spindle set). The assembled helicopter measures approximately 53 inches long and 15.5 inches tall, weighs about 12 pounds, and features a blue, yellow, black and silver canopy with "700 X" branding and two black and gray rotor blades marked "Revolution."
According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the affected helicopter and contact Horizon Hobby to obtain replacement washers and installation instructions.
