the engines are still made out of metal, so it's detectable. Just not as easily detectable as most other aircraft.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

It wasn't that the Mosquito was undetectable. It's that it was so fast that by the time they DID detect it the Luftwaffe didn't have time to intercept it.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

 Exactly,the radar of the time was ineffective against the Mossie,mostly do to speed.

It did have a smaller radar signature, but not invisible. Impossible to fail and so.....

Nope, it did not have a smaller signature.  That is pure, unbridled, myth.
