I still had to make pylons, decals, and paint them.
I have a couple bombs coming from here:
I'll let you know which I like better.

Pratt & Whitney R-2800
While I'm waiting for some other mod goodies for this bird it was decided that the P&W R-2800 needed a little more scale character.
Just gotta finish doing the U shaped tubes at the top of the heads and call it close enough for government work!!!

Here's the basic rule:
Two 3S in parallel is still 3S with the sum of the two packs capacity rating for total capacity.
Two 3S in series is 6s at the same capacity of one pack.
What I believe you are looking for has been identified: a parallel Y adapter to connect 2 motors to one battery

Making progress on the "Firecat". I made the mistake of first using a brand of decal paper that I usually don't and it set me back and I had to overlay the white background decals with my usual that are really opaque and don't show through. It kind of dorked up my edges since the new ones don't stretch like the first ones I laid down.
Not much left to do. I'm calling the paint finished. Was going to do more silver tones but meh..... Just need to finish the nose and underbelly tank demarcation stripe and a couple decals on the nose area and I'm going to call it good. Will put a semi gloss clear coat overall. This is taking way too much of my time. But working from photographs and trying to make it as historical as possible takes time.2 Photos
