Drill at 2.5mm, then tap M3.(Metric) Or 4-40 tap and #43 drill bit.(imperial)

Do you really need to tap it? When I did the wing mounts on my X6, I just drilled with a slightly smaller drill than the thread of the screw I was using and then let the screw cut it's own thread into the plastic. Never had a problem with it pulling out...

I tap mine M3. But I have just drilled a hole and shoved a screw in before, and it was OK (just tight)
