Not to butt in guys but I flew the Mystic 30 (ARF) in F3A at a contest in 1993 (I believe) and was winning after the first day against some pretty big names. However some of the guys got together (I heard later) and decided I was making a mochary of the event (Flying a 30 size model) and so I ended up second. I had borrowed it from a friend who had a webra 32, in it with a pipe, turning a 9-7 (at like 14,000) and retracts.
Come to think of it I liked it so much I bought one and its still new in the box at my parents house. I may have to put it together sometime just to see if memory serves me correctly. (I think its a great flying plane)

Chip,
great to have your comments on the model - most reassuring. Do you happen to recall roughly how much your ARF weighed? I suspect that they are lighter than the kits - possible?
This other little jewel would also make a very nice setup. Jett 30's have the same mount pattern as OS 32's. A rotation of the mount and perhaps a fresh cowl makes for an easy OS SE to Jett RE conversion.
OPS also used to make a 29 RE but they can no longer be had (maybe with difficulty). Are there any other 30 class RE engines out there?
