I tried to do something different this time: land a quad on a moving car.
After 2 unsuccessful attempts (crashes), the quadcopter finally did a smooth landing on the roof of the moving car.
The RC quad was controlled from the inside of the car using a 7" monitor (480x234 pixels) for FPV. Video was transmitted directly from the onboard GoPro2. A GoPro3 was mounted on the top of the car.
The quadcopter used a simple Multiwii controller board with acc + gyro. The PIDs weren´t tuned so the flight wasn´t very stable.
WARNING: this was recorded on a closed course without other vehicles or pedestrians.

That´s nice too Morli! Could even try it with a plane hhehehe
I had to put the antenna upright because if it was on the most horizontal position, it would be closer to the quad, at the level of the props, so no good
Hahhahaah nice idea of the aircraft carrier Paul
Harry, the first landing cost me a scratch on the roof because the aluminum boom hit it =/
Jesse, that´s right. On the 2 first landings, the propellers hit the antenna so I lost lift and I crashed.
Looked like it crashed onto the car as it hit the antenna, as opposed to a "soft" landing. But it did make it safely!
You do that on my car and there will be trouble. :)
