> フォックス機の操縦桿を握る、君の腕に期待するぜ。

_I'm looking forward to your arm holding the control stick of the Fox
aircraft._

or if it means skill, then that would change the meaning completely:

_We hope you'll be able to maneuver the aircraft. We're counting on you!_

question
meaning words
Is 君の腕に期待する a set phrase that has to do with 'skill'?
Yes. In this case, 腕 itself means skill. You can also think that it's got
shortened from "腕前", which also means skill / talent.

"前" in this case is suffix that emphasize the previous word. e.g. 男前:handsome
man.

Similar words are "手腕", "手並み" - which also means skill / talent.
