NOTE: Please read
this before purchasing a variometer.
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 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
Included with 3040 Balloon Pilot:
- TT34 wireless transmitter
- Operation manual and TT34 installation sheet
- Attachment clip and elastic Velcro
- Padded nylon carrying bag
- 3040 certificate of conformity
- Two 9V alkaline
