Brief Description:  Rolled rudder skins

I may be the only one in the world that doesn’t know that 1.25" pvc pipe isn’t actually 1.25 inches in diameter.
The instructions call for you to roll the rudder leading edge radius over a 1.25" pipe. I got what I thought was the correct diameter from Lowes. I noticed when I got home that the pipe was 1.5" in diameter, but it was still quite a bit smaller than the final template size supplied with the kit so, thinking that spring back would take care of the difference, I went ahead and rolled the leading edge. I stopped when it became apparent that the radius was going to be larger than the flat over the spar would allow. I will go back to the store tomorrow and see if I can find a pipe with a true 1.25" OD.
