Just don't reach quickly for the phone in your pocket when it rings while flying...

That is really really cool! I now regret selling my Kinect in anticipation of the Kinect 2.

That is very good! Well done and than you for sharing with the DIYdrones community. 

Where can we find the IR control data transmission protocol details for S107 RC Helicopter? (or can we get your IR transmit sketch as an example?)

Witchcraft!  People used to get burned at the stake for doing less!  ;-)

Seriously, well done!  A couple years ago, I was able to do something similar.  I had an Arduino running record all the IR signals with an IR sensor, while I was flying it.  Then I had the Arduino play back the signals, and the helicopter would fly itself.  Wish I had taken a video.  Unfortunately, being controlled blindly, with no sensors, it was prone to crashing, and finally sustained to much damage.
