You've marked this OT so I'm assuming you're not motivated to
do this in D. If I'm wrong, then it's very much on topic, IMO.
I probably would use D, but might not due to some external
factors. Part of my motivation is doing it in partnership with
the local school, and my in preliminary talks with the
administration, they weren't enthusiastic about D (I think
because their current CS teaching staff - math teachers who have
barely done any programming at all picking up an extra class -
are unaware of it. But then again, you aren't going to be running
a drone on Javascript and Scratch anyway!)
Either way though, I'm not too concerned about the software side
of it; I'm sure I can figure that out once I get some hardware to
play around with and I wasn't sure where to start with that.
I received a few relevant links from our community here:

Also, check out http://www.openpilot.org or
http://ardupilot.com, if not for their hardware and code, then
for their forum and community. I don't participate there
myself, but it looks like the perfect place to ask such
questions.
Cool, thanks!
