idea for a UAV project would it be possible?

After spending a day with my PE kit I started spinning ideas for projects and I was wondering if this is possible.

I was thinking of a UAV that can be told to fly to coordinates via GPS.

Would something like this be possible?

Simply put the propeller not only flys the UAV which I have seen on youtube, but instead of just a radio control, it can be told to go to a location based on GPS long and lat as well as altitude.

    www.attopilot.com uses one Propeller processor and does that and much more!

    Something I thought might be more challenging (they have UAV kits) and haven't seen yet is someone building a land yacht bot. It wouldn't just have to go to a certain spot
    but would have to factor in the wind to adjust it's sails and path to get there.
