Default Capacitor question...

I'm working on a 'homebrew' RC project circuit (airplane) and need clarification about capacitance if someone could help... It is OK in any situation to use multiple caps in PARALLEL (assuming they all have the same mfd/voltage rating) to maintain the rated voltage and to INCREASE CAPACITANCE additively for all the caps used in the circuit? For example, if all caps were rated at 5V, 1mfd, and ten of them were ran in parallel, that would be the EXACT same thing as using ONE 5V, 10mfd cap, right?

Thanks!
