The 1926 Airgo A-1 was a three place open cockpit biplane. Registered N7291 c/n 1 on 7 April 1928 to “Holmes,” then on 25 August 1928 to “Moore,” both of Hennessey OK. The registration expired 28 March 1930.
The 1929 Alexander Bullet was designed by Al Mooney, Max Munk (of NACA), and Ludwig Muther as a 3-4 seat cabin, lowing monoplane, with retractable undercarriage. One prototype, NX6390/] c/n 1, was built and first flown on 12 November 1929, piloted by Ted Haeuter and Al Mooney. In all, 12 Bullets were built and 4 partially completed.
Two were built as C-1 in 1929, NX8227 c/n 2000 and NX8228 c/n 2001, with Kinner K-5 engines, also seen in one reference as C-3. They were priced at $6,500-7,200.

One Bullet C-3 racer for the 1930 Nationals was built, registered NR8228 c/n 2001. It was later dismantled.
The 1929 Bullet C-4 and Bullet C-5 (ATC 2-181) was priced at $8,888. Eight were built: NX700H (appears in regs as a C-4), NR705H (as C-4), N732H, N741H, N747H, N761H, N771H, and N774H (as C-4).
Motor options of 165hp Comet 7-E and Axelson B were never installed.

Although flown successfully in many competitions by Edith Foltz and Errett Williams (hence the “R” licensing), C-5s were rough on test pilots. On 16 September 1929 undefined problems arose during a test flight, and Errett Williams had to bail out, then L W Sylvester was killed 21 September 1929 in a spin test. On 7 October 1929, Shelly Charles was forced to bail out during a spin, and on 5 November 1929, Lewis Love’s plane failed to recover from a fatal spin.

The 1930 Bullet C-7 (ATC 2-181, superseded by 318) was the final sleeked-up version with longer fuselage, full-panted fixed gear, partly-cowled motor, and redesigned tail group.
Priced at $7,200, and $6,500 by 1931, it was the first low-wing cabin monoplane to be granted an ATC, many of its design innovations are evident in Mooney’s subsequent aircraft.
Only one was built; NC309V c/n 2013

Produced in 1936 by Aircraft Associates, the company, a principal distributor, began producing Taylor J-2 under a subcontract for Taylor Co after their disastrous Bradford PA plant fire in Mar 1937. With ATC 620, 10-20 were built priced at $1,270.
The 1911 Sanders No. 2 biplane was designed and built in the UK in two versions. The Type I twin pusher propellers, and Type II Single larger propeller.
