....What is the downside,
other than cost, in using such a device?


When the line is payed out, it's difficult to inspect the last 10 feet
of rope where it goes into the fuselage. We (Greater Boston Soaring
Club) had a break there once. We now have a regular inspection process
where the access panels are removed.
