I'd like to tinker with embedded systems for hobby use
in device controllers, and in model airplanes.  I know very 
little about it, and would like some suggestions from the Net 
about the choice of a CPU/platform for development and execution.

I have an AT clone at home to support anything that can be bus 
mounted, and access to a SPARCserver at work.  I'm comfortable 
with doing my own PC board assembly, though I don't have much 
in the way of tools.

I know this question sounds a bit like 'How long is a piece of 
string?', so maybe I should ask: what are the parameters that I 
need to fill in to get an intelligent answer?

Once again, any info is appreciated.
