Been planning this experiment for about a week. The goal was to launch on the move and recover on the move. It almost worked, 'Delores' (DJI3) touched the bed of my truck, but the motors didn't stop (sensors would'nt let them stop). What was meant to be what Naval Aviators call a "trap" (Carrier landing) turned out to be what they call a "bump and burn". I'd call this a successful failure... though a bit sloppy.
