Default RE: ARG! Control Surface Horns - Help

Charlie - you just made my point for me. My question is "how would YOU resolve this problem"?

My pic 2 shows what "would" happen if you just plopped standard control horns down on the control surfaces as they currently exist. I wouldn't want to fly the plane if I just bolted those horns on like in the pic.

Please don't assume that I want to use the Dubro stuff. I have a Killer Chaos that needs covering that's just begging for these 'cause the control surface top and bottom are parallel and only 5/8" thick.

What changes to the control surfaces would you make? What other horns would you use? The one in your pic suffers the same problem as the Dubro horns - bolt is way too short.
