Thanks for the insights into this.

B2N2, AIM does say fly 1 minute outbound but it then goes on to say..

DME/GPS holding is subject to the same entry and holding procedures except that distances (nautical miles) are used in lieu of time values...

So i read that to mean, if you would normally fly the 30 degree entry for one minute, in a DME hold this becomes 1 nm.
There is nothing in the AIM, that i can find, that mentions the entry into a teardrop hold immediately after flying over the fix changes (time or distance) in regard to the length of the legs.
