Hey freebeard,

Ya I purhcased those plans when they first came out and was never really a fan of the looks of the XR3. However I thought they did a great job on the plans and are a huge improvement over the older Quincy Lynn plans they offer which I have most of. The plans are definitely thought provoking and gives you a glance into what a scratchbuilt 3 wheeled diesel hybrid takes to build.
