Here is what I am thinking . It is sort of like what Hank is doing.

You set the 2 an ½ inch pipe in to the three inch and then bolt the welded flanges together

Just let the small pipe extend a foot or so into the other pipe. If its a very loose fit weld 3 small spacers on the bottom of the small pipe to take up slack.
If the pipe is going to break it will break at the weld on the flange on the small pipe first 3 small gussets might be good idea. Other than that I don't see how you could improve on it. RobC

Old F,

Actually this is what I did. (hope photo comes through).
Two at right angles to each other at all joints, which is also where I connect my guy wires.

Perhaps an over kill but a cheap investment.
Hand CAD is faster!
