UP Kangri X — A 2.5-Liner That Sheds Weight but Keeps the High-B Information Stream

The Kangri X's strength is clear. For a high-B it is anything but dull: it reads the air sharply through brakes and risers, and turns that information straight into direct steering. Its place is with the broad band of pilots who want both the fun of a high-B and the information of a C. But that information is not free. The feedback rising relentlessly through brakes and risers is a reward for the pilot who knows how to read and use it, and a burden for the pilot whose hands are still busy. This is not a wing that relaxes you with comfort; it is one that hands the conversation lightly back to a pilot who is ready to enjoy talking with the air.
