Chute Repack Clinic

Post by lbunner »

How do you all get your chute repacked? In my former home (Illinois) the local clubs sponsored chute and glider maintenance clinics each year. Any interest out there in participating in or sponsoring a chute repack clinic?

Hi, Bun-

Steve at Blue Sky performed my last re-pack, dropped it off while getting work done on my wing. Highland and Blue Sky both do it. Some people ship their chutes to them.

My previous repack was at a CHGPA organized event with Cragin’s assistance. We’ve held a few, most recently at the flight parks on a flyable day. You might want to resurrect this thread again in warmer weather so we can put something together.

Best,
Daniel
