I think it was Patrick who sent me a package on the Tri-Magnum.It seems like the design evaded the compound curves which are so difficult to fabricate,allowing a builder a shot at actually completing the 'car.'
The T-M probably has an advantage over the C-111 in plan-view,but the sides were compromised as well as the rear underside.I've never seen a Cd posted for one of them.It would be interesting to know.
