Would the IBEX be an interesting choice for very light pilots, who always have the feeling of flying slower and less dynamic than most other pilots.

Many light pilots (often women) can hardly ever enjoy the feeling of flying an agile and dynamic wing. So those pilots are mostly among the slowest in the air and can't experience the fun of flying a higher loaded wing. Some pilots fly with around 70kg of overall weight, wich means, that they are 10kg below the maximum weight of a ROOKIE XXS, which is one of the smallest wings available. So the possibilities of flying with the wing-loading of heavier pilots are very rare.

So it's defenitely worth a try to fly an IBEX 17 or an IBEX 15 for those pilots. With such little weight those wings stay very safe on the one hand. On the other hand those wings enable the pilot to experience a pleasing handling with enough agility and speed.
