Replacing Cheap Control Horns w/Something Better
I'm looking for some guidance on replacement control horns I may not be aware of.
I have a scale 1/3 Pitts fabric covered and completely painted. I am restoring some areas and upgrading it. the plane was built several years ago and has those cheap white control horns held on with two screws. The two horns that connect the lower to upper aileron do not pass all the way through the aileron.
I have used MK Control horns before but don't think they would look right on this plane. So I am probably looking for something like what is there but of higher quality and maybe a different color (yellow would be perfect). So if anyone can point me toward some quality horns for a 68" scale biplane, thanks. PS: the rudder and elevator are pushrod operated.

RE: Replacing Cheap Control Horns w/Something Better
I'm aware of that type of horn. It's really not suitable for this plane. I'm looking for a higher quality and hopefully colored "blade" type horn. Something like the Hyde Horns without the bearing. Best I've seen so far is the Sullivan Horns. Looking for some company I may not be aware of.
