Perhaps I am missing something but, as far as I am aware, autorun.inf is a little batch file added to CD ROMs to make them autorun by pointing to the appropriate .exe programme. You should be able to open and read autorun.inf in Notepad etc.

Hi Alex,

Re the Safir at NAM - I firmly believe that the paint scheme is as she was delivered by the Norwegian Air Force.

Hi Paul, Sorry about that :sad: I have found that the placing of the CofG relative to the main wheel contact points can be critical when it comes to getting the tail up. In my experience, it becomes a juggling act with the centre of lift, CofG, and brake strength to get the tail up without causing t...
