PSP Controlled RC Helicopter

This looks to be a project-in-progress, but could have some really cool applications (like spying on your neighbors).
This project uses a gumstix computer with embedded Linux and a Belkin CF Wifi Card. Seems the project was put on hold after a crash on the first test-run, so it's up to you to pick up where the creator left off.
