The MNAV100CA is a calibrated
digital sensor and servo control
system designed for use in Radio
Control (R/C) vehicles. The
onboard sensor package includes
accelerometers, angular rate
sensors, and magnetometers for
use in inner loop control applications
as well as static pressure
(altitude) and dynamic pressure
(airspeed) sensors for use in
airborne robotics. A GPS sensor
is also included for both path
planning and navigation.

I think it's closer to $2000, but does seem to get good reviews. There are some other open source systems worth investigating -
