Chute Re-packing supplies
Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 9:25 pmWhere does one get high quality rubber bands to re-pack a chute?
That would be nice to know.
I've been repacking my own chute for years.
One year Rich Phiffer (sp?) repacked mine and said that, "Whoever did this last did a good job." (It was me.)
I bought a variety bag and picked through hundreds of rubber bands to find ones like the originals.
Over the years the size and quality of bands may have some "creep" away from the most desirable
rubber bands that were original on my High Energy Chute.
I hope it isn't all that critical???????
4,058 flights so far with no need arising to test my rubber band selection. (Knock on wood!)
