Default RE: TBM 93

Going to rebuild the engine box. I doubt it would have lasted thru one flight without coming apart. What crap. Going to use some 1/4" aircraft plywood and 30 minute epoxy. Triangle stock on all inside corners, and will pin with 1/8" bamboo dowels. If that DA-85 is as bad as I think it is, all this effort will be needed and save the plane from coming apart. Those thin plates on top and bottom that came off with no resistance are a joke. Wasn't even epoxy, but some sort of hot glue. Only thing holding me up here is how I am going to mount the throttle and choke servos, before I glue it all up for good.
