Well you are on a higher level than I! Adding autonomy introduces a new realm of development and ingenuity. My design is dumb control and I will be relying on real time GPS coordinates and live video feed via 5.8Ghz to track and bring back manually via remote with off the shelf 2.4Ghz RC equipment. I will be flying a CTI J530 to a thus far simulated mach 1.6 and 8900 feet. Environmental conditions must be ideal for a successful back-to-pad recovery but if a failure occurs I will just have to plot its coordinates and retrieve it the old fashioned way with my Chevrolegs!
Unsure if you are familiar with them I will recommend Adafruit.com as a source for MCU's. They have a plethora of small form factor pcb's which utilize ARM processors and also offer a substantial line of compatible sensor boards of similar form factor, all breakout-ready. In what languages do you write? How much programming is involved with your project? Do you source code from libraries or write all the logic yourself?
Addendum: Woops, I just noticed on your site you used a Trinket. Adafruit ftw!
