He is trying to send commands to an AR Drone. AVR is part of the hardware.

Hm. Couldn't he have told us that?

That probably just makes my point. What is going to happen if you have multiple pilots trying to concurrently control a UAV?

If this is related to Occupy Wall Street protestor Tim Pool has configured one that he calls an occucopter, for citizen-surveillance of police. "We are trying to get a stable live feed so you can have 50 people controlling it in series. If the cops see you controlling it from a computer they can shut you down, but then control could automatically switch to someone else." , the the keywords in there are "in series" which are completely missing from the OP.

In that case, you'd want a queue of in-bound clients ready to take over when the current client 'drops off'. Emminently doable, but not the way the OP is approaching the problem.
