Wow. Great work! I 'm happy to see I'm not the only one putting micro motors into 1/144 scale planes...maybe I should've started with a C-130 Herc instread of a T-6 Texan.😉

Have you tried using a 5v (USB) power supply instead of a 3v battery? Might help with some of your supply challenges.

Building a "working" C-130 in 1:144. I added diodes and optical fibres for the navigation and landing lights, which worked well; and I built 4 micromotors in the nacelles, which apparently worked well too. Then I connected all the wires to two connecting pins on the bottom and closed the fuselage . Then I connected the external 3V battery, the propellers turned, but the lights did not work. I opened the fuselage again and tried to repair things, but I couldn't. Apparently I should have used two different power supplies ,one for the motors and one for the lights.
Finally, it will have just rotating propellers.
