Builder Interview: “Loophole” on the Akers-Barnes Cockpit
PitBuilderMag.com is proud to have the opportunity to speak with Michael “Loophole” Barnes, co-designer of the now famous Akers-Barnes Portable Cockpit (or “ABC”) which is, if our research is correct, having its 10th anniversary this year. For the uninitiated, the ABC design is built from flat plywood or MDF, and slots together to form a highly flexible home cockpit platform. It's a fitting first interview for PBM, as the ABC is often the first thing built when starting a new cockpit project. On with the interview.
