Fixed wing
The fixed wing code won't work, http://forums.openpilot.org/topic/10048-wing-flies-stable-but-missing-authority/ , they have not yet integrated wind speed measurements like Gentlenav have. Gentlenav DCM solved a problem not possible with Kalman it seems. With quads, openpilot has the edge at the moment.

As we are a GPL project, code reuse is a major asset that we can leverage both for ideas and to re-use code directly. There are a couple of projects we have already used or plan to use code from and this speeds up development as well reducing bugs because we are using known good code. Of course we can only use code where the license allows, for example GPL, LGPL and BSD licensed projects. Examples are Booz from Paparazzi and UAVX from Professor Egan and Dr. Jim. Of course this is a two way street, they can also share code we create as well so everyone wins.
