I think a horn might be a good idea. Or turn signals.


There was a plane at OSH a couple years ago, can't remember the make, but it
was like a super cub turbine, and the joker put a train air horn in the
thing, running off of plenty of the bleed air...


It was a Helio Courier. It was a great example of boys and their
toys. It also had off-road truck tires and other examples of "Don't
even bother asking 'why?'".

I recall reading somewhere (perhaps Sport Aviation) that they took
off some of the sillyness (air horn, monster truck tires) and
returned it to a somewhat more mundane configuration.
