If the bungee stretches with age (which will certainly happen eventually)
or it wasn't tight enough in the first place it is very difficult to
retract the gear as Martin Stoner found on one initial test flight. For the
sake of extending the routing of the bungee a little, you at least have a
much better access to do any adjustments. I cannot believe everyone is
going to get it perfect first time and not get at least a little stretch in
subsequent years.
