Default RE: Beginners guide to E-flight ?!

ok, one final question:

If you want to fly a plane with 2 electric motors ... do you then also need 2 speed controls or can you hook up one esc to both the motors ? (and anything you should keep in mind when doing this ? like maby make one motor turn clockwise and the other one counter clockwise or something ?)

I also did some more looking arround for info and it seems that hobby lobby had a nice explenation on what to get for which motor and such. And it seems that powering the AXI 2208/34 with a 3-cell lipoly pack gives it almost the dubbel RPM. Would it be wise to then use a 3-cell lipo instead of the 2-cell ir will I have weight issues with the small shockflyer ? Also, hobby-lobby seems to recomend low-mah batteries like 320 mah or so, but I would prefer something like 720 mah. but again, will this be a good idea, caus these batteries also wheigh alot more. (or won't it make difference ? I was under the impression that the more mah, the longer your flight time) Will a 3-cell lipo also work with the phoenix 10 controller, or should I also change that, if I would use a 3-cell lipo instead of a 2-cell ?

thx for all the input guys,
