Summary of Contents for Airheads T5 Taipan

- Page 2 Introduction The T5 Taipan is a competition-grade team, precision and ballet kite. Four versions: UL/SUL, Standard, Semi-Vent (V1) and Full Vent (V2). The T5 Cuban is the fifth kite in the range - an extreme light version for near-zero wind flying.

- Page 4 towards the tow point. Conversely, rolling the knot away from the tow point increases the turbo effect. There's no single 'correct' turbo, but too much turbo gives you very rapid power on/off transitions. On both bridles, the tow point loop is fixed to the main bridle by a lark's head, and locked into place by the knot of the front bridle leg.
- Page 5 Frame and Bridle swaps We use SkyShark II frame and have found it extremely tough, but nothing is indestructible... So the kites have a quick-release bridle which allows you to swap frame and/or bridle in just a few minutes. If you are making a swap, it's important to re-knot in the standard way. Post the bridle loop under the frame, just above the connector, then flip the loop over the connector, refit the top spreader and then pull tight.
