The diagrams, and builder photos, show control horns as having space between the two pieces.

You can tap them over a pc of metal or some hard wood. Try to make an air foil. It is not an exact science. Right now I am working on some dies that will stamp these out so you get a perfect horn. My first attempt was a very nice part. I will post some pictures soon. Only problem was the air foil was in the wrong direction. Nice if your flying backwards. Live and learn. If it works out I will have them for sale.

It is fairly simple and the easiest welding you will ever do.
