I would disagree with the loaded 5th line operation (snip)
during normal flight operation it is unloaded and must be so, as there is no trimming capability on this line to adjust with the mainline trim/depower adjustments.
Nope, tension is held at the y point, so even if there is slack below that, the 5th is still tensioned to the canopy.
You can (not saying you should) remove the fifth from below the y, but there isn't much point and means you have no flagging option.
