Yup you're right.

You can get the full screen image and you can clearly see that they are nylon horns.

Yup, I see it now too. The larger image makes it plain. There is indeed a LOT of warp to the elevator itself, and he did NOT attempt to match the trailing edges at the root first as he should have.
