Default Local Rigger doesn't want to repack my chute

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 ?

Doug
