[Public-List] rudder

Sun Mar 5 04:51:44 PST 2017

I was over at Surprise yesterday.   The leading edge of the rudder in the prop aperture is about 2" thick... And something under 1" thick at to the trailing edge. 

I measured using thumb widths.  Very scientific.

The bronze rods are pressed fit in to the post... That fits with your observation that your rudder n post are a single unit.
