- Total Flight Time
- 400+ (Total all types)
Hello Folks,
The 2021 Mosquito Fly-In just wrapped up a few days ago and a good time was had by all. The highlight was the unveiling of the XE 290. The 290 is not totally new, it is a refinement to the 285. These include a fully programable ECU, new independent coils, a redesigned radiator for better cooling, a new air intake, and a stator with a higher electrical output. This one belongs to Factory Mechanic Rep. Mike Messex and should be at Oshkosh this year. Details on the XE 290 should be available on the Composite FX website soon.
