They are produced both in kit form for amateur construction, and completed ready to fly at the factory. [1]

The MXS has won an entire decade of US Nationals Aerobatic Championships and World 4 Minute Free Style Championships and is regarded as the highest performance aerobatic airplane in the world. Pilot Rob Holland won the Eric Muller Trophy flying a MXS at the 2019 World Aerobatic championships.

The two-seat version is called the MX2 and has reached notable fame, becoming World Aerobatic Advanced Champion under the control of Rob Holland (pilot) in 2008 and also vice-world aerobatics advanced champion in 2010.
