This week's Take This Tune is the delightfully double entendre verses of "Red Staggerwing". Confession time. I love songs filled with double meanings and sly innuendos simply because I love word play. Let's face it, even Shakespeare dabbled in hints of goings on. It doesn't matter if it is Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered with the original lyrics rather than the cleaned up variety or this weeks' decidedly R rated song courtesy of Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. What can I say except: Red Staggerwing immediately reminded me of the ex-husband who played guitar and built model airplanes from scratch (no kits). So I bought him a 12 string and then I designed a plane for him to build. It was called "The Peregrin" named after the fastest of the hunting birds. It was bright red and it's wings tapered back similar to a jet aircraft, so our "taperwing" was a scarlet woman from the get to. It was simply the fastest control line stunt plane ever flown. Unfortunately, it's design was not meant to do acrobatic stunts at those speeds and it eventually developed stress cracks where the wings joined the body and could no longer fly. But it was beautiful. Like the marriage it had it's moments as when he would play Steamroller Blues (another somewhat raunchy song). When it was bad .... it cracked under stress. So down below are all the fast and beautiful things that fly, roar, and sing as metaphors for when it's good it's very, very good. If i was staggerwing plane A staggerwing painted red I'd fly over to your house, baby Buzz you in your bed If I was a taperwing A taperwing painted blue I'd be barrell-rolling over you If i was a Maserati A red 300s I'd ride around to your house, baby Give you a driving test If i was a mustang racer White with a stripe of blue] You could ride me,baby Whenever you wanted to If i was a fender guitar A fender painted red You could play me, darlin' Until your fingers bled If i was one of them gibsons Like a '58 or '9 You could plug me in And play me anytime If i was a motorcycle A vincent red rapide I'd ride around to your house, baby Get you up to speed If i was short track racer I'd be an indian You could ride me around And ride me round again You're gonna need a rider anyhow Let me be your rider now Now go have fun.

When you think of aircraft, the words compact and accessible don't necessarily spring to mind. A British team is trying to change that with the e-Go. Made of carbon fiber, it is powered by a compact Wankel rotary engine and sports a removable canard and wings so it can be parked in your garage.
In 2019, CubCrafters is celebrating 10 years of the innovative Carbon Cub. Learn more about the aircraft's history and inception here.
