FLYTEC 3040 BALLOON PILOT

The Flytec 3040 helps to improve the safety of ballooning with it's wireless envelope temperature sensing functionally. Flytec 3040 features an altimeter, variometer, envelope and ambient temperature displays. It offers you programmable temperature and sink alarms, variometer with both analog and digital display and radio transmitted temperature. This 4 x 6.5 inch unit conveniently straps to your basket upright, allowing you to keep your eyes out front instead of down in the basket. The 3040 has dominated balloon instrumentation in Europe. 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 design.
