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

In real life a cup holder would be nice.

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...

He snuck up on me while I was directing traffic at a taxiway intersection,
and blew the thing.

I really thought I was about to be run over by the crash truck, and this was
the last seconds of my life!
It was funny, later. g

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.

Haw! Good story.

I've yearned for a big-asssed air horn on my airplane many times. Mostly
when the dweeb in front of me waits 'til he's at the hold short line to put
his flight plan in his GPS.

BRRRAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZ!

Move it, asshole!
