I am new to RC world, I recently bought AR Drone and now I want to build my own flying machine.

I would like to challenge myself and build something like

I need help from DIY community on where to start and what components I need to use.

In distant future I would like to use http://www.emotiv.com/index.php to control drone with it (again challenge myself).
