The Parrot ARDrone was originally designed to use with a iPhone (There are some augmented reality games for it, pretty cool, you can shoot missiles that are rendered in the camera view and the drone can track other drones using colors so it knows if it was a hit or not) but thanks to the open API there are several other platforms it currently works for, I bought mine a year ago and there wasn't any good PC software around so i made my own in .NET with WPF.
What you need
1) A drone http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/en/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
2) Long range adapter the best one is Alfa Networks AWUS036H (It has to be this exact model for best range)
3) A good joystick
4) A laptop with HDMI output if you want to use the Sony HMZ
5) My software (Or use the other crappy alternatives
