I have both the Manta 12.5 and Orca 12. The Manta requires much higher RPMs but it feels a little more nimble, and is a little harder to land. I think the Manta needs a 912, but the Orca will do fine with a 582 HP range, and is easier to land. But feels a little stiffer.- Garrett, sorry to hear that. Did you try to contact Gibbo and see if he will exchange it for a Manta 15 or 17 wing... My instructor flew my 17 and said it was a very docile wing...I never had the chance to f...
