Do you have a question about the CIRRUS II and is the answer not in the manual?

Questions and answers

JD Olson
July 10, 2025

I am 82 years old and recently I had to move into easier quarters. Years ago, when I sold my last airplane because of my age, not the planes, I bought a Cirrus II simulator so I could continue. When I moved, people thought they needed to "help" me so I had put all of the manuals, cables, and DVD is a separate box but the "Helpers?" insisted on loading. Now no one can find that box. Is there a way for me to replace those things, so I can get back to flying, or do I just have to appreciate it as a fixture. Thank You.
