I'm a fellow RC'er as well...

The green is great as you mentioned.

The purple "service removable" or small-screw formula works pefectly as well.

The blue 242 formula when used *sparingly* will work fine and you will not have to heat it so long as you do not apply too much. I've used it on very small 2-56 (SAE/std) and 2mm setscrews many times and never had an issue getting them back out.
