Don't know how they compare, but I have the C31XR on an M-1870A. It was
interesting to me that the C31XR has 3 unique measurements:
1. The center of the boom
2. The balance point
3. THE CENTER BETWEEN THE 2 INNER-MOST ELEMENTS!
With the GM tower, you have to put the mast at the 3rd choice to clear the
tower.
Works wonderfully - Maybe this will help if the C3 inner element spacing is
anything near the C31. Good luck with the project! 73
