Paul,

Not to hard.  Here it is in it's simplest form.  This assumes your ESC's are like most and have a built in BEC (battery eliminator circuit). It can get more complicated depending on the level of sophistication of your equipment

Just be careful not to get battery leads too long.  Might want to consider two battries.

Is this a scale or a stunt project.  If scale you might want to consider a 2.4 ghz setup for throttle controll.  Lots of comments on the scale board.

John,

I don't wont to risk hijacking this thread, as there is a lot of good information on battery lead length elsewhere on this forum and the internet.  I'd like to pose a question to you - wouldn't it be OK to add a little battery lead length, e.g. a short wye, to a twin as you have already doubled the amount of capacitors in the circuit (2 ESC's)?
