Landing a Quad on a moving car via FPV

by tecdux | December 24, 2013 | (8) Posted in Just Fun

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.

Cool! Looks like a hook skip to a two wire. A meatball would have been useful.

Seriously, if there had been cables and a tow hook that may have helped
