Redirect & flashdata

[eluser]Dushan[/eluser]
What I am trying to do is reduce the work of loading the same model as I redirect() from one controller to another. I would like the same instance/state of my model exist in my second controller. The simplest approach I thought of is by placing it in the flashdata, but that didn't seem to work and produced the error I mentioned above. Are my only options to reload the model either through autoload or through MY_Controller class?
