General What Is This Screw Called?

I have some of these screws that came with my Thunder Tiger Super Decathlon which I purchased around 2005. They look simply like a flanged head phillips sheet metal screw. I wasn't sure if they had a specific name in the RC hobby. I want to buy some of these and need to know where a cheap source is. I want to get some that are a little longer than the one pictured.

Cannot determine the size from the picture but they appear to be servo screws.
Check out the Micro Fasteners web site.

That sounds about right. I measured them with a caliper and they are .080". This puts them at #2 size.

Be careful if you use them as the metal may be soft or to brittle if the origin of the screw is unknown , also the screw may not be a true phillips head but a reed & prince if it was manufactured in the far east. Test them out before committing to a critical application. Just be sure your driver fits correctly especially with the small size.
