3040 Balloon Pilot |
|
For
many years, the superb reliability and quality of our precision
instruments have made us the leading choice in flight instruments
world wide. The Flytec development team has brought together
these traits with start-of-the-art technology and created the 3040
Balloon instrument. Flytec is proud to be able to improve
the safety of ballooning with the wireless envelope temperature
sensing functionally of the 3040. The 3040 has dominated balloon
instrumentation in Europe, and with its' recent FCC certification,
Flytec USA is pleased to make it available to balloonists throughout
North America. Some of the characteristics that have made
the 3040 so popular are:
- User-friendly
interface
- Unparalleled
remote envelope temperature sensing
- Real-time
clock and stop watch
- Accurate,
rugged and reliable
- Light,
compact, aerodynamic and ergonomic
