The main link is http://www.o24rcp.org/ : custom 2.4GHz RC transmitter & receiver, complete w/ PCB and (compiled, to be Open Sourced) firmware, using XBee modules. Sounds like a very nice piece of work.

I’m really curious about that price / distance comparison.

See http://diydrones.com/ for community, discussion, etc.
Their in-development boards have all sorts of features.

i had considered something similar. some of the new xbee modules have incredible range. best part is that you have as many channels as you want, and 2 way communication.

I would like to see a simple RC aircraft with a 3 axis accelerometer, magnometer, some kind of range finder pointed downward and a micro controller as a flying assist system so instead of direct control of the control surfaces the user just inputs altitude and speed (say with a slider) then desired direction with a dial (linked to a magnometer in the controller so the direction that they point the dial is equal to the direction the plane is pointing. That would be loads of fun to fly I think just for the fact that it is so easy.

I guess a good start would be a RC car where you do the same thing without the altitude, has anyone seen something like that?

I wonder how it compares with a futaba radio rig, esp. range and price. you could probably get good quality plastic shell with the levers for free if you ask around. actually , I think I will get one to control my next robot!
