I have a Trex 450X that I am currently flying. I am still in the learning phases.

I have the opportunity to get a Hirobo Shuttle Challenge, with an OS .32 Engine and most of the parts and equipment.

Because the machines are so different in size/and more, will it help or hinder my learning?

There are many local folks I can go to for engine questions and help there. So that is not an issue for me.

Just looking for feedback and advice.

if the price is right, go for it.
20 + minutes of flying per tankful is hard to beat, even though it won't have to power to weight ratio of the trex.

There is always help around. I know there is a club just north of melbourne off 95.
I can remeber the name, but I went to a swap meet there a few years back.
I think we have chatted in chat room about it before. If you need help feel free to just ask.

Well will we see yall at Mulberry? That is a good event not to miss. And we had a great time at the Jacksonville event as well.

When is the event in Mulberry? That is not too far for me about 2.5 hours or so. I am having my folks visit from Colorado for the next two weeks and then my local club IRKS (IRKS.org) is having a fun fly the weekend of November 4th.
