The local parachute packer doesn't want to repack my chute. He will in
fact do so but isn't happy about it. My chute is about 2-3 years old.
It was included when I bought the glider.

The objection is that the chute is a Strong. He says he has to pack it
"upside down". Apparently it's a pain in the a**.

Is this attitude toward Strong chutes common? I can certainly sell it
and get something different, but why? I figure the thing is good for
many years to come. On the other hand, if it's a hassle to get repacked
and I have to wait longer than everyone else... maybe I should cut my
losses.

What's the experince of RAS ?
