For relaxed flights, you should be in the lower part of the range with a low wing loading; for local or thermal flights and even XC, a medium wing loading is best; while for dynamic flying in windy areas or mountain descents, where the priority is being able to take off and glide down, a high wing loading is better.<\/p>\n<p>Nova says the Ibex 4 glides much better and flies much faster than a single-skin paraglider, and that it stands out in the category of light, safe wings.
