It looks like memory didn't serve...

Hanno's 1987 Supra Star was equipped with a prototype OS 61 RF Hanno Special - basically the engine that eventually became the HS but it didn't have the red head. Hanno took first during all of the 1980's - Magic (81, Mexico), Calypso (83, USA), Supra Fly (85, Holland), Supra Star (87, France), Supra Star (89, USA). Then, in 1989, the era of turn-around began and the engine spec was lifted from 10 cc 2s max to 20 cc (120) 4s. So for the 1991 WC (Australia) Hanno entered a Mystic 120 with an OS engine where he placed 4th (I believe he had engine troubles). For 1993 (Austria), flying steps away from his home town, he reverted back to the 2s Hanno Special and his last WC design - the Mystic 60.

Yes, I think that's how it goes.
