The best way to prototype apps for drones is to use a simulated vehicle. APM provides a Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) environment, which simulates a copter or plane, in Linux.

If you want to test your app in real life, you should also grab a ready to fly copter from the `3D Robotics Store <http://store.3drobotics.com>`_.
