Gasser Model RC Helicopters > How to: Getting the 3 phillips screws out of the Zenoah base plate

#1, if you don't have a heat gun, get one. You'll be using it on many things besides this. If you don't have a heat gun, DO NOT use a torch. Go out and buy a heat gun. Torches discolor metals.

#2, use the T-bar phillips screwdriver/spark plug remover wrench that comes with the motor, it fits the phillips screws with no slop.

Heat the motor base plate with the heat gun until its nice and hot. Can take about 1 to 2 minutes to do so.

Use the screwdriver provided to remove these screws. Push hard IN onto the screw head as you attempt to turn it. If not budging heat it some more and try again.

With heat and the right tool, it will come out without damage to the screw head. Many folks seem to have issues with this, the reason being no heat is being used with an improper screwdriver would be my best guess as to why.

Hope this helps.

<<With heat and the right tool,>>

I'll accept heat might have helped..but buntly if I can snap the srewdriver provided then it'a rubbish. In my own sets I have ones that fit better and didn't even get burred. It was the screwhead that broke the driver that was the jammed one.. the others I got out..

Heat does magic

As the aluminum expands more than the screw around the threads and makes for an easier disassembly. Next time around try that before you force it more to the point of breaking the screwdriver or stripping the screw head.

Just thought this post might help in the future!
