I don't get it. Both are 4 place. Orka's total engine weight is about 25kg heavier and yet they produce a combined 320hp, that's 60hp more than the RV-10. The Orka's body and wing are supposed to be laminar(I have heard laminar bodies only have about 1/3 of the drag). Yet the Orka is slower then the RV-10. OK, the Orka is 1300lbs heavier; but if both planes are 4 places, the only difference is that the Orka has larger wing. However, the wing only contributes about 20% of total drag. Another thing is. How did the Orka wind up to be almost 3000lbs at the first place anyway?
