I'm not so interested in building the multirotor copter to fly it manually with an RC controller. My interest is in programming it. Ideally using an XBee, or other non-RF communications, I'd like to send commands to:
- rise to 6' and maintain hovering at current gps position
- move 3 feet 50 degrees
and such. In your experience how far can you go programming with the ArduCopter software? Is it mostly based on manual rc input to fly, or is there a lot of room for programming the copters?

Or write anything you want. You have all the source code... here is something I wrote/hacked in over just a few hours, a simple extension to the existing code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDqJxULPsPw&feature=g-upl
