  1. Got a rigg in from a customer, who brought it in a humid location, thought it would be a good idea to put it in a plastic bag for some time, not sure how long, but long enough for it to start smelling bad. So it still smells bad even after drying it. I haven't tried cleaning yet with water or anything, but thought of a noter solution. I recently learned about ozone machines, the kill organic material. So what if I open the rigg up a little bit and put it in a room with this machine, I'm certain it will stop smelling, BUT, will it damage or weaken the rigg in some way? Anyone have experience or knowledge about this? Googling the subject, I do get a few pages of information, like this one: http://www.nachi.org/ozone-generator-hazards.htm It states that excess usage can damage synthetic material and plastic, but my plan is not to use it excessive, and how much is excessive to be precise? My next step is to ask the manufacturer about this.
  2. A really smooth solution on how to locate dropzones all over the world would be to create a simple convert script, that creates a xml based file called KML, that you can load into Google Earth, since all or many dropzones are provided with a longitude and latitude coordinate. Creating such a script is in my opinion very easy, and if wanted, I can help out doing so. Check these links out: http://earth.google.com/ http://earth.google.com/kml/
