pics of welded rudder

Post by beechdrvr »

Hi Everyone,
Steel is arriving for the rudder and we are ready to start.
Looking at the plans though, I am a bit confused on the joint at the top of the rudder bow. Looking at the plans, the large vertical tube looks flared at the end to accept the 3/8ths tube bow.
Any pics of this would be greatly appreciated. Having a bit of a time figuring this out.
Thanks in advance,
Doug
