Brushless motors in parallel
Can 2 brushless motors be connected in parallel off a single ESC? If not how is two motors normally setup? Thanks.

I may show my brushless ignorance, but if both motors were geared together and the timing was the same would it be possible?

Somebody has been watching too much 2001.
Further investigation into what prompted this question and confusion has shown a stock twin with brushed motors and 1 ESC, but other pics of the same plane somebody had setup with twin brushless. Although I thought they were the same plane I can see know they are not and the brushless has 2 ESCs.
