Nope...I've only seen 3300 once when I did a low pass under power at
a friend's airstrip.
Nor have I, guys. I think the 3300 max RPM can only be achieved in a steep dive. With my light model 3, I have 2950 static and 3050 WOT at cruise. I am told that it is exactly what it should be. But I cruise slower than Lynn, only 2,650 to keep my cruise speed of 85 MPH. If I push the throttle to WOT at level, I near quickly my Vne of 100 MPH. With a model 1, 2 or 3, I think that the 2200 is more than enough. If I had e.g. a Jabiru 3300, I would never be able to cruise at more than 50% throttle and that is, as far as I understand, not good for the engine.
