I did a MH103" Yak with a DL-100, no surprises but make sure you plan everything forward of the wing tube, the MH tends to be tail heavy. I love the way the fat wing does slow flight. What engine are you putting up front?

The 3W-100 will drag it around just fine, just keep everything up front so you do not have to add weight to the nose. It will be interesting to see how the 3W-100 compares to the Dl-100, my MH 103 Yak is stock.

Just received mine today.
This is my first big boy so I'm glad your doing this thread.
I'm going to mount a 3W-106. I talked to the guys at TBM
and said that it should be a perfect match fo the airframe.
I have a DA-85 sitting around, do you guys thinkk the DA
would be a better fit. I don't want to add nose weight.
