The Kangri's proposition is clear: it packs C-like feel and top-tier B glide into a single B certification. But the combination comes with conditions. In the weakest thermals it climbs beside the Bonanza 2 rather than ahead of it, and the C-like feel presumes an equally active pilot — this is not a hands-off B you can simply lean back and trust. That makes the Kangri's place unmistakable. It's the wing for the pilot who hasn't crossed into C yet but wants to draw on that feel early, without giving up the margin a B still provides.
