Paralleling three Flybacks and getting load share?

Flyback

Do you agree the attached is THE modus operandi for paralleling multiple flybacks with cheap circuitry and still ensuring pretty equal load sharing (LTspice and PDF)
They are each 75W flybacks
LTspice and PDF attached.

It has been years but....
If I remember correctly, the error amplifier pulls down hard, up softly. (might have that backwards)
Wire all three Comp pins together. FB pin on two parts goes to ground. Use the last error amplifier as normal.

I phase shifted the three PWM to reduce the input and output ripple.
Any current mode PWM should share well.
Judging by the three 2N3904 you plan on going beyond 50%. (?)

I think the four LT1006 buffers could be simplified.
 
Its funny how one can draw out a schem for a "great idea"........and you realise its just trash.....the schem of the top post is trash, wouldnt you agree?
This is a job for a UCC29002 Load share controller...more expensive than the schem of the top post , but oh so needed.

Just a matter of comparing the old UC3907 , to see if thats any better than UCC29002

The only difference between UC3907 and UCC29002 seems to be that the voltage error amp is inside UC3907 , but not in UCC29002.
The UCC29002 seems to have no 50mV offset, and this offset is needed in the '3907 in order to stop the master from adjusting its own reference...so ucc29002 must have some other trick up its sleeve for this function.
