    • First, analyze the helicopter as a whole and determine in what sections you will tear it down in.

    • I've divided the helicopter into 6 different sections.

    • Rear

    • Propeller

    • LHS Structure

    • RHS Structure

    • Main Frame and its components

    • Bottom

    • Here I have tackled the first section and removed the rear propeller structure from the helicopter.

    • All the parts here came off fairly easily with the use of a Phillips head screwdriver.

    • Rear side tail | Length - 96mm; Width - 43mm

    • Rear top Tail | Length - 71mm; Width - 44mm

    • Rear propeller | Length - 110mm; Width - 14mm

    • Tail Brace | Length - 180mm; Width - 3.5mm

    • After removing the helicopter's cover, I now had access to the structural parts.

    • I could then remove the LHS structure of the helicopter.

    • The dismantling here was pretty good, although there were a couple of parts that needed to be removed carefully so that they wouldn't break in the process.

    • LHS Inner frame | Length - 130mm; Width 60mm

    • LHS Outer piece | Length - 120mm; Width - 46mm

    • Cover holder | Length - 23mm; Width - 22mm

    • Here I have removed the large propellers to make the helicopter easier to work with.

    • Once again with the use of a Phillips head screwdriver, the propellers came off very easily.

    • Now you can see the helicopter is really starting to come down.

    • Main Propeller | Length - 210mm; Width - 36mm

    • Propeller Holders | Length - 15mm; Width - 14mm

    • Once I removed the LHS structure, I went ahead and started on the RHS structure which was all removable until the Helicopter's On/Off switch was caught.

    • This RHS structural piece will be removed later on once the switch is disconnected.

    • RHS Inner frame | Length - 130mm; Width - 60mm

    • RHS Outer Piece | Length - 120mm; Width - 46mm

    • Once the main structure was taken apart, it was time to focus on the main propeller.

    • Up until now, the disassembly has been pretty straightforward, but now there will be pieces that will have to be forced apart, due to them being machine pressed.

    • Here, I've disassembled the main propeller.

    • As some of the parts were pressed together, they were pulled apart with force.

    • Propeller Inner Frame | Length - 190mm; Width - 9.5mm

    • Top propeller weights | Length - 310mm; Width 15mm

    • Main Propeller spinners | Length - 47mm; Width - 10mm

    • Top propeller wing connector | Length - 53mm; Width - 24mm

    • Mid way Propeller connector | Length - 53mm; Width - 27mm

    • Propeller to frame connector bottom | Length - 22mm; Width - 20mm

    • Before I moved onto the main components, I deconstructed the base of the helicopter.

    • This was probably the easiest part of the helicopter, as it had no wires or forcefully connected pieces. It all disconnected with ease and came off neatly.

    • Bottom rail | Length - 160mm; Width - 4mm

    • Helicopter base plate | Length - 160mm; Width - 45mm

    • Rail holders | Length - 106mm; Width - 45mm

    • Light | Length 5mm; Width - 2mm

    • Here in the final stage, all of the main components have been separated, whether it was through force or a Phillips-head screwdriver.

    • All of the main parts were cut from the motherboard in order to neatly illustrate what is being used.

    • Motherboard | Length - 50mm; Width - 32mm

    • Propeller Motor | Length - 45mm; Width - 15mm

    • On/Off Switch | Length - 18mm; Width - 4mm

    • Rear Propeller Motor | Length - 27mm; Width - 9mm

    • Charging Point | Length - 17mm; Width - 15mm

    • Rear Light | Length - 28mm; Width - 11mm

    • Here, I made a tally with all of the screw details from each section, which I'll now outline.

    • Phillips Head 2.5 | Head - 3.2mm; Shaft - 2.5mm; Thread - 7

    • Phillips Head 6.5 | Head - 3.1mm; Shaft - 6.5mm; Thread - 12

    • Phillips Head 7.5 | Head - 3.2mm; Shaft - 7.5mm; Thread - 9

    • Phillips Head 4.5 | Head - 3.3mm; Shaft - 4.5mm; Thread - 9

    • Phillips Head 5.5 | Head - 3.3mm; Shaft - 5.5mm; Thread - 6

    • Phillips Head 5 | Head - 3.2mm; Shaft - 5mm; Thread - 6

    • Phillips Head 3 | Head - 3.3mm; Shaft - 3mm; Thread - 7

Hey Max, I'm just going through and fixing a couple of grammar errors with this. Very nice teardown guide nonetheless!
