Today LED's, tomorrow, the world!!! Well, OK, maybe servos.

The AR. Drone is fairly fragile, and for the price, you could start building a real quadcopter.
My quadcopter is based off the AeroCopter: http://aeroquad.com/content.php
Very cool. Now netduino needs to get in the picture

It should be compatible with that quadirotor, right? Just a matter of porting the code? Standard Arduino/Netduino form factor, and some shields.
Granted, the code porting is the "fun" part...
I wish I had a bigger budget.

Stabilizing an inherently unstable aircraft and non-realtime code are not a good match.It should be compatible with that quadirotor, right? Just a matter of porting the code? Standard Arduino/Netduino form factor, and some shields.

Yes, you could do it, but the results are sub optimal, in fact, I know of someone who did port quadcopter code to a FEZ, and it's still not flying
The better option would be to use a small chip (even an 8bit MCU would be more than fine) and have that linked up to a coprocessor running NETMF. The 8bit MCU (or ARM7, whatever) would run the control theory and talk to the ESCs at high speed to stabilize the aircraft and take input from the high level coprocessor.
If the NETMF board does something weird, the aircraft is still perfectly stable. The aircraft's stabilization is not affected by the GC, etc.
