Default RE: TBM 93

I finally had the chance to fly mine on Wednesday. (After chasing multiple retract leaks for weeks) I've got a Fox 4.2 in mine... 24x10 prop and she flew absolutely wonderful. She tracked straight and after hitting about 3/4 throttle she lifted all by herself. A G62 would be fine in my opinion. A da85 would be out of the scale realm as far as speed at full throttle. (My opinion of course- but I'm all for that scale look in the air) I am however going to get a DA85 for the P-40 that's on my bench now. I got the nifty TBM exhaust to avoid cutting the cowl to pieces. I'll just have to practice throttle management- darn.
