The Flytec Balloon Live Sensor makes balloon competitions easier, safer, and more fun. The successor to our well-known FAI Competition Logger is a joint development with the Ballooning Commission (CIA) of the World Air Sports Federation (FAI). It ties perfectly into the new Balloon Live universe and provides precise position and movement data to both the Balloon Live mobile app, and the pilots’ tablet or laptop computers.
