Disadvantages:

This accessory should be used only by an experienced pilot and master the flight range of the sail.

This system operates in the ranges of uses for certification tests (accelerator stop), it should not be any significant impact on security in case of closure of the sail, except that they don ' have not been carried out with a crash.

However, PleinAir has developed an ultra simple manual release (see pictures attached) or contact us for more details.

This piece can affect the flight range of the kite and therefore its security, its use remains the responsibility of the user.
