For many years, the superb reliability and quality of our precision instruments have made Flytec one of the leading choices 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, it is now available to balloonists throughout North America. Some of the characteristics that have made the 3040 so popular are:
Unparalleled remote envelope temperature sensing
Real-time clock and stop watch
