You can do Xbee via a USB adapter, but I prefer to put it on a cape to make things lighter, simpler, and cheaper. For my purposes I like the Alfa wireless adapters because they support monitor mode and packet injection. For hacking the small adapters tend to have bad performance since they are low power with small antennas, but if you can get close enough it might not be an issue. Using the Xbee Pro adapters gives me 1 mile range with decent power usage.
How much wind can your drone handle? It is the wind and limited flight time that pushed me away from a quadcopter and to the Quadshot.
