  Congradulations on your purchase of Donatas Design, aeromusical plane Arrow V.5. This plane is 
evolution of famous 4D trainer with variable pitch propeller placed inside fuselage. Arrow V5 is 
latest version of this plane, that is extremely good choice if you want to learn 3D ore 4D flying.
 

 

    Plane  kit  come  in  two  versions  regular  and  milled.  Regular  version  is  preffered  option  for 
beginers,  and  pilots  that  plan  to  fly  Arrow  outside  in  light  winds.  Not  milled  version  is  also 
stronger. Milled kit is made for competition pilots and flyng with Variable Pitch propeller.  Milling 
save  about  9  grams,  and  as  we  know  weight  and  wingloading  is  very  important  factor  in  F3P 
competition planes.   

  Arrow V.5 is intendet to be powered by 18,5g AXI2203/RACE motor and 2s light lypo battery if you 
fly indoor. If you plan to fly outdoor 

AXI 2204/54 with 3s light lypo is recommended. Please have in 

mind if you sellect more powerfull motor aditional reinforcements to airframe will be necessary.

     

   This kit include all items that are necessary to finish kit, depron parts, carbon rods, flat 
carbon, hi quality fiberglass hardware set, motormount, Z ends for servo attachment, velcro 
tapefor battery fixation and pull pull line. 

Equipment selection

Motor:

    AXI2203/Race (For indoor flying, motor weight 18,5g. ) 

              AXI 2205/54 (For outdoor flying in light wind, motor weight 25,9g.)
              AXI 2205/54 EVP (VPP flying, motor weight 25,9g ).

ESC:

     Competition option Castle Creation Phoenix 10a , budget version CC Thunderbird 9.

Battery:

Servos: 

Dig. JR 290G single servo for elevator and rudder, 2 servos can be ussed on ailerons.

 

           

Dig. JR 188 single servo for elevator or rudder, 2 servos can be ussed on ailerons.

             Hitec 65hb single servo on ailerons and rudder

Radio:   

At least 4 ch programmable radio with minimum programming of exponential. My advice 

would be more advanced radio like JR 9 or J

R

11 that have travel adjustment, dual rates, trim steps, 

digital trimmers, mixes and other useful functions

, that will help you setup plane fast for best 

performance

.

Receiver

 : As light as possible, i use with great sucess: Spectrum 2,4ghz Ar6300 2g.

                                                                                               Duplex 2.4ghz R6Gindoor 3.6g
