Randy bought a Sky Cowboy helmet adapter kit, and we went through the rigmarole to install one of his Lightspeeds into it - it was quite a lot of work. After seeing how much easier life was for him at a Young Eagles event (and now having to have a helmet because everybody'll expect a helmet now,) I decided to build one up myself.
Starting from zero meant I could find a good deal on a headset, and I found a David Clark H10-13X.
I bought a red helmet, to go with the red gyro, not really thinking about the green headset. Whatever. When it arrived, I steeled myself for battle as there are no instructions for the H10-13X, but it was actually really easy.
First off, you need to dig the wires out of the headband.
It's simply a matter of sliding them through.
Then you unhook these little wire carriers from the metal stirrups.
You can then pull the wire out of them.
I clipped the wire carriers back onto the stirrups.
Next, see that little circlip? You need to use a small screwdriver and lever them off.
I just taped the circlips to the headband so I can turn this back into a headset at a later date if I so desire. That's not easy with the Lightspeed, as we had to cut stuff to get them apart.
Now you'll just clip the Sky Cowboy adapters over the locating pins on the earpieces.
Finally you'll line these up (at 90 degrees) with the stirrups in the helmet and clip them in.
Run the wires around under the straps in the helmet and you're done.
