This is my first time posting to any forum. I've been designing novel micro aircraft platforms for some time but know little about flight control programming and stabilization. Can anyone point out good arduino hardware for this purpose?
Sure. Post detailed specifications for what functions You need.
I guess it needs to be small, which suggests a Nano Every. That's the limit of my knowledge on the subject. Maybe someone else can be more helpful.

Do you have weight limitations? What is your budget?

Take a look at Ardupilot.
I'm building several models. The current aircraft is around 200 grams. I will eventually build smaller (and maybe larger) in the future.
For a previous model I used an off the shelf flight controller normally used for multicopters and it worked but its programmability was not flexible enough to take advantage of the aircraft's full potential.
Does the Nano Every or other controllers have an onboard gyro/accelerometer or is that a separate purchase.
If so what would work?
I'll check out the Ardupilot.
Thanks
Plenty of flight stabilisers etc. on youtube and rc forums with heaps of testing and details on how to build.
One small example here.....
ArduPilot is best of all, you just need to do some configuration, many tutorial available and once configured it will do all algos itself self balancing etc. To add Wifi capability, you can add ESP8266.
Maybe check out
"OrangeRx SF7003XS Futaba FHSS Compatible 7ch 2.4Ghz Receiver w/FS, SBus & 3 Axis Stabilizer"
at Hobby-King, $18.
Quite a few good reviews too.
