What about twisting the topof the horn>to point at an angle? (I have flat plate elevator horns)I too have flat plate horns.The horn is notched to fit over the spar withbent out tabs on either side. Position the horn & drill the holes. There isof course an extension welded to the horn which is bolted to the elevatorbeam.( I hope I remember this right, its been over 14 years since I made theelevator. Although, I did check with Ed Snyder ).Mike B Piet N6987MB ( Mr Sam )________________________________________________________________________________
