Such model copters are actually a good example for the problems of rocketry.

The first landers had  gyroscopes to guide the crafts.

First use of gyroscopes was in the rocket 'V2', build by Germans under 
direction of Wernher von Braun. He was also the head of  the 'Apollo' 
program of the NASA, hence we can safely assume, he would use gyroscopes 
if necessary.

Those Apollo landers had only one engine, hence the deceleration is 
similar to balance a broom-stick on an ascending rocket. (certainly 
difficult)

The other problems are:

a LOT of fuel is required

the velocity should be zero (vertically and horizontal)  exactly at 
surface level (not a few meters above or below).

the landing zone has influence on the subsequent rendezvous, hence it is 
important to manage to land at a certain spot.

All of the tasks are interwoven, since e.g. corrections would require 
time and that would make the lander land somewhere else. It would also 
consume fuel.

To figure out the various consequences of a certain activity would 
require a fast calculator, who could do such calculations several times 
per second.
