  Mooney M-18 by Max Karant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Mooney's main concern is to make a careful check on the lubrication of the propeller-drive bearings, the one thing that actually caused trouble in early tests.
Mooney has rigged it rather ingeniously so that the valve - if it's accidentally left off - is bumped into the "on" position by the throttle when it is pushed to the wide-open position.
Mooney, however, has added a spring interconnection with the trim system on the M-18 so that, no matter how the airplane is trimmed, the throttle can be opened and closed suddenly without any drastic change in the plane's flight attitude.

Mooney courted both traditional and nontraditional voters; he campaigned at gun shows, but also reached out to rank-and-file union members and won the endorsement of a group of fl ministers.

 Amazon.com: All I Want: Music: John Mooney   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
John Mooney's distinctive fusion of Delta blues and New Orleans street funk is a high-wire act--a step too far in either direction and the blend plummets into cliché.
The hard-cutting tribute to his mentor, Son House (an update of "Death Letter" titled "Son's Blues"), and the keening paean "Baby Please"--on which quicksilver licks form a slicing melody around the audibly stomping beat of his boots and his high, grizzled singing--are sterling examples of his expertise with tradition-fueled material.
Mooney also displays his command of acoustic resonator guitar, House's instrument of choice, in "Buried Treasure," a poor man's fantasy about hitting it big.
