Is your interest in creating one from scratch, assembling or just flying it ? I have come across quite a few students doing this as college projects. But they do hardly any development themselves, they are mostly assemblers. Have even seen one team trying to pass off paparazzi project as their own stuff. Rcgroups has a lot of (actually too much, that you'll be lost) information on this subject. There are also hobbyists flying the assembled ones, but I don't see them active on the forum. There are also dime a dozen companies (atleast in bangalore) doing work on this.

I know of institutions buying MIKROKOPTER's ( quad ) and claiming that it was self built . so auto pilot is not surprising

i am also thinking about a google maps type imaging system with plane and ardupilot.is it a good system. i am use arduino regularly and have some "real" knowledge then books.
