The cool Robot Operating System from Willow Garage is now running on coax helis and quads. You can get it on the $5,000 Skybotix CoaX heli and drives are now available for high-end quads, too.
[UPDATE: ROS is also supported on the PixHawk platform. (Thanks to Lorenz for the tip!)]

I really don't understand why they use GP2Dxx IR range finder. The beam of these sensors are very narrow, and cannot detect all obstacles.

The Parrot ardrone is really more cool also, price and technologically!
