Here you can see exact dimensions for each side connection. Notice there are two ways to control 
TV, with same servo as you use for rudder ore with separate servo. Ussing one servo will save you 
weight, but TV willrequire powerfull servo such as JR 290G ore Hitec 65hb. If you gonna use one 
servo  pull  pull  cables  must  be  crossed  in  one  side  of  the  plane,  otherwise  motor  will  move  to 
oposite dirrection than rudder, and there will be no benefit. Motor and rudder must move to same 
possition. If you use two servos you will need to mix rud to TV controlling servo. This way it will b 
eeasier to make precise setup of engine angle. Also you will be able to fly plane as with and without 
engine movement.

Last step in your plane assembly is also very important. Here you can see my personal setting on 
my JR9X  radio. Sp far we did building as best as we could to keep plane straight and strong, now 
its time to use one feature of radio that will help you to have precise flying plane. Many pilots do not 
pay so much attention to triming of plane. Beffore each flight in competition i make short flight just 
to be sure plane fly straight and perfect. For this i ned to have precise trims. Arrow surfaces are 
really big, and you need to make trim steps as small as possible. Original setup in radio is for 4 
steps on each trim click, this is to much for precise adjustments. Here you can see i put trim step to 
lowest number possible, one click of trim mean just one step in servo movement. 

Last step in your plane assembly is also very important. Here you can see my personal setting on 
my JR9X  radio. Arrow very easy and neutral flying airplane, therefore no mixes are necessary. I just 
put  thr  curve  to  90  percents,  to  limit  amp  draw.  I  have  to  do  this  because  i  use  slightly  to  big 
propeller (GWS 8x4,3)  than AXI recommends for AXI2203/Race motor.
