Default Watts err somethin

Hi everyone,
I am not new to model airplanes, but I am new to electrics and would really like to give them a try. I have built and flown a few parkflyers, and would now like to move up to a more advanced aircraft. I have been looking at some small, 4-engine airplanes, like C-130s and B-17, that weigh about 4-5 pounds. I though these would make good electric conversions. The C-130 has a 51" wingspan and weighs 4 pounds, so I though Speed 400s should do well. However, with the motors wired in a parallel setup, I beileve I will be giving each one too many amps and burn them out, but wired in series, I will have too many batteries. I am correct in my assumtion? If so, what can I do to make this system work? Thanks for all your help.
