Congrats on your return to RC!
Socket Head Cap Screw, m 3.0 x 8 mm length.
You can buy them from Horizon as partof the crankcase screw package.
Otherwise you can try other online sources. I prefer known suppliers like McMaster-Carr rather than the sometimes crap that moves thru Amazon and some others.

Thank you Jesse. I replaced the lost bottom screws with some cheap Philips head screw, washer (so not to damage the crank case) followed by a lock washer a long time ago.
Thanks again for your fast reply.

I ordered the screws from Horizon part # SAI5031. Thanks you all for your help. I.ve been trying to locate a shop that sells 15% glow fuel in my neck of the woods, but no luck. I haven't flown since 2003, due to the closer of flying sites here in Orange County, CA. The closest field is up in Trabuco Canyon, I'll check them out this weekend.
Thanks again, for your help.
