Hi faraz101!
The autopilot impementation is very difficult project. You have to calculate first the mathematical models of the uav movements for e.g. if the wind waves "hit" your uav from the left or from the right the autopitol must control the uav to move it in a proper way in order to compensate this vibrations. Try to find information for aircraft controls!
