Hey guys, I have a shuttle zxx that has been sitting in my basement for the last 10 years that has never been flown. I built the kit but sold the engine and muffler I had for it a few years ago. I am wanting to get this thing built and in the air, what engine do you guys recommend? I was leaning towards the OS 32 or the 37. I plan on using the heli as just an easy flying machine simple loops and rolls that is good on fuel for longer flight times. Also need to find a pipe/muffler as well. I figured id leave the 3D flying for the trex's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mine has an OS.32 never flew it yet but I'm sure either engine will work! The .37 will probably give you more "pop" but just a little bit more. If you want a real "zippy" heli get a .50 and some new undies!!!!

It'll fly pretty well on a OS 32. It is best described as a lazy flying heli. Comparing the Shuttle to a Trex is like comparing a Cadillac to a Viper. I would personally get the OS 37 and a Curtis Youngblood muscle pipe.
