I simply remove the three screws holding the servos and it falls

ago. I find that If I can easily remove the servo, I seldom need
to. Some version of Murphy's law I suppose.

A quarter turn at a time! Ouch!

A few years back I made a tool for adjusting servo arms while they are
still glued into the wings. If a servo arm breaks or in my case, I was
switching to a new radio and the position of the arm needed to be
adjusted for the way I wanted to set up the new radio. Anyway I took a
piece of music wire

Thanks to all who provided tons of suggestions and solutions over the last few days on this.
The operation went successfully, using a combination of heat-gun application and a string wrapped 'round the "shoulder" of the servo output shaft/case (to tug / shock-load the thing). I *did* take a tin
I made a similar tool with a lot less work. I put the tip of a small
phillips screwdriver in a vice and put a 90 degree bend on the shaft.
10 seconds, new tool!

Not a good `presumption' Many reasons to remove but not replace.
Control arms break. Gears strip and I have bought planes that had
their arms poorly raked. I wrap my servos in tape before gluing
them in. Wish there was an easy way to remove/adjust servo arms in
a wing where the servo has

Since you are talking about the center section of a Graphite and hot
melt glue just use your heat gun on the back side and soften the glue
from the wing. At some point the glue will release all at once or you
can peel the glue away a little at a time. Either way the heat guns
heat will get you

This reminds me of how you get the meat out of a conch shell. The way to do
it depends upon whether you want to e
OK, Here's a probably dumb idea...
Would it be possible to gently heat the outside of the wing skin? Such that
the glue would get soft?
Don't know but may work. Then the glue could be removed piece by piece.
Other wise there's the dental floss sawing method. It's a pain but safe.

If you've got a Harbor Freight in your town, you may want to look into
their 12V rotary tool kit... $7.99 w/ a bunch of routing, cutting and
buffing bits. You can also run it directly off of DC power! It's cheap
and doesn't have a whole lot of torque, but I use it quite a bit for
"surgical" p

You could build a soldering gun wire that could cut thru the hot melt glue..
You could bend a #11 blade and cut and heat it out.
