The first thing missing on your list is an ArduPilot board. Also you will most likely want an ArduPilot Shield kit. The ArduIMU board is not set up to be a stand-alone autopilot. ArduPilot is. The Shield kit adds an airspeed sensor and support for thermopiles. There is currently no "released" firmware support to use ArduPilot and ArduIMU together, but that is coming.

I would recommend you find another airframe platform to work out the autopilot system first before putting it in your turbine.
