Local Rigger doesn't want to repack my chute

The Strong external pilot chute opens fast, but requires
a different packing technique than some sport reserves.
It's not harder, just different. A good rigger shouldn't
have any problem with it. If your guy can't handle
it, I'd say get a new rigger. He's either a newbie,
or just lazy. Strong actually makes the canopies for
several other brands. Their products are second to
none. I own four of them. Never had a problem.

If that rigger is not going to pack it for you send it to me. I will
pack it without any problems. The LoPo 26' canopy used by Strong is in
production for over 30 years. They have made over 10000 of them without
single failure or AD. Now, that's a record worth talking about. And if
a rigger is not packing it because he cannot follow directions in the
parachute manual...well, maybe he should not be rigging at all.
