[simpits-tech] Akers-Barnes Cockpit,Mark1

[Chris Brace]

I know these guys and did some flying with them at the Avalon airshow a couple 
of years back in these pits. They are simple, but nice for those on a tight 
budget and limited resources.
Here are there individual emails,

Peter Akers : akersp@ozemail.com.au
Michael Barnes : michaelb@OntheNet.com.au

Hope this helps.
Chris.

about two weeks ago a small  thread on simpits-tech  mentioned about two guys 
"akers and barnes "  it think designed a cockpit out of plywood  that could be 
errected and dissasembled withing minuts  by making the diferent segment snap 
together, nice and easy
this design was/is used bu the 62 fighting falcons in australia ( i assume a 
f16 group of people who sit in there pits and dog fight againt eachother ) if 
im wrong i apoligise

aparently on there web side they have plans to make there designed pit, but i 
have now lick in getting the website to pop up ( i get cant find url garbage)

i am looking for the plans as a rough idea on what size to make my pit im 
trying to replicate a pc-9 military trainer used by the raaf , there pit seem 
to be verry similar in apperance if you stand back and brurr your vision 8) 
  im only looking for rough sizes.

the thing that appealed to me is the shape of the pit

hope this helps
