If it's your personal 'chute and your season is less than 6 months long,
get it repacked the week before you start flying. That would work for a
lot of people.

I received a small whiz wheel from www.paragear.com with an order I
placed from them. If you go to there web site and call them they may
have them for sale. Normally you need to buy $20.00 of merchandise
from them before they ship. But it might be worth the try. Any rigger
that does not put your repack date with your chute is not doing there
job correctly.
For the record I am studying to be a rigger
