2003 Gyro Wiring Harness

Does anybody know where we can pick up the wiring harness for the 2003 BEI Gyro? Apparently you were supposed to order it seperately but we haven't found a disturbutor that carries them.

Thanks,
The Dukes

Re: 2003 Gyro Wiring Harness

Are you planning on using the 2003 gyro? It appears to not be legal because of its cost:

A:Yes as long as it passes the 2005 Part Use Flowchart and you account for its cost according to the cost accounting rules.

But:
ID #1318
Q:From ID 1118: The Gyros from previous year's kits appears to cost $300USD and therefore exceeding <R44> limit of $200USD for electronic components. (http://fastascent.com/Projects/Attit...te_gyro_s.html)
A:If that is the price, clearly R44 excludes them from being used. Find a used BEI gyro or find a cheaper gyro of another brand.
Just a heads up.....

Re: 2003 Gyro Wiring Harness

We are using an old BEI gyro for testing, while we wait for our AXDR150EB to come in from analog devices. We also do not have the connector, and found the best way to connect it was to either use a pwm cable across the top and bottom rows, then splice it at the other end and solder the wires in the correct order. If you dont want to waste pwm cables, rip some header cables out of an old PC. Two 3 prong females (1 for gyro, 1 for RC), and a 1 prong female (for top row of gyro connections) should do the trick.
