I did a similar mod: fly my Phantom 1 with a CC3D board inside. It works perfectly fine and now i can fly acro mode at insane speeds.

The 3dr solo is probably the closest feature-wise, but it is not exactly charp compared to the phantom, neither Open Source. BTW, parrot drones really sucks. Don't even think about them if you are looking for something similar to the DJI phantom. Their products are children toys.

I would build a platform for the unit to sit on and a power pack for portable use.

Some microdrones can be hacked to run custom builds from Multiwii code

Crazyflie from http://www.bitcraze.se/ is also pretty cool. I own one myself, and I like it a lot. This is a tiny fully opensource quad which can be flown indoors. I think I'll add a camera like the post to make it FPV.
It is a very interesting topic because almost all electronics devices have similar emissions , see http://www.cvel.clemson.edu/pdf/ED_Detection_2008.pdf

Someday thieves will use these techniques to locate who in a dark alley has the latest iPhone.
