Default RE: 3 Cell Li-Ion pack DIY

I've wondered about this myself... I've used these cells for low-draw applications such as TXs, although I figured that they had a low C rating and would therefore be ill-suited\dangerous at higher draw.

How about setting these cells up in parallel? Since cells in parallel effectively doubles capacity (both mAH and C), at SOME point this should be feasible, assuming they have similar characteristics to Li-PO. Also, I wonder how 'reactive' these cells are compared to Li-PO. I haven't had a pack reach critical mass yet, and I don't intend to
