Connecting elements on a Flying wing without a Board

Hi,

i'm building a flying wing with a Pro mini / WM+ stabilisation at the moment. No other sensors will be used.
I wanna Arm/Disarm via switch on my Tx.

Because the Plane has got lack of space i, unfortunately, cannot use a board like paris etc.
This means i have to Wire the components on my own..

My rx works as a "power distribution station" aswell in this setup.

I'm just getting confused about the wiring at the moment.

this is my current "signal" wiring:

Signal input:
rx side .................. Arduino Pro mini
thro ---------------------->Pin2
Ail ------------------------>Pin4
Elev -----------------------> Pin5
Yaw ------------------------>Pin6
aux1------------------------>Pin7
RX +5V---------------------->RAW
RX GND (-5V)--------------> GND

the channels can be exchanged via TX programming if necessary.I can assign all channels to all functions with my Tx weee :-)

Signal output:
Arduino Pro Mini side .................. electric components
a0 Servo 1
a1 Servo2
Pin3 Motor


Sensor wiring

Wmp - wiring as follows:
(VCC, SCL,SCA,GND-names taken from this pic: http://www.microcopters.de/photos/81/wmp-to-arduino.png)
WM+ side ............................. Ardino Pro mini.............................. RX
VCC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> (+5V)
SCL---------------------------------------A5
SDA---------------------------------------A4
GND--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->(-5V)



This setup seems kinda annoying, because i have to split Servowires to RX for Power and Signal to Arduino, aswell as i need to connect the RX and the Arduino for input signals..


can somebody please confirm me if I wired this thing correct or if i need to change something!?

Hi !
I made simply board for limited space
