Default RE: Building and Controlling an UAV for Final Year Project

Sorry, my brain sometimes forgets I'm typing: COS (Commercial Off the Shelf), ie you don't have to develop your own control system from scratch so you can use open or closed source autopilots like [Open] ArduPilot Mega, Paparazzi, OpenPilot, [Closed] MicroPilot, AttoPilot, etc.
There really is ALOT of choices out there I'm not going to list them all but check out as many as you can so you can get what you need. Also bewary of ITAR/export restrictions on some euqipment UK is pretty friendly but you never know what kind of hoops you'll have to jump through...
