Self Retracting Aero Tow Rope?

On TV they have been selling a garden hose that shrinks in length when it is not in use. On TV they advertise that that it will not kink or tangle. The hose is constructed of two parts. The outer cover is a canvas like material that is flat and sealed on the edges. The inner material is a elastic hose. I am wondering if aero tow rope might constructed to shrink to about 1/4 its length when it is not under load. The outer tube would designed to pull the glider and take the dragging wear. In the center would be a slick elastic material (like a model glider high start). Bill Snead 6W Our club--Mid Georgia Soaring--Atlanta area has been using the Tost system for years now. We love it! We operate it according to the Tost instructions and do not have any significant problems with it. Highly recommended! Hartley Falbaum
