Great! By the way, MatrixPilot team (Bill Premerlani and Pete Holland) already went to a similar solution, for estimating air and relative wind speed just with the autopilot hardware (Uavdevboard).

Cool, I’ll have to track down their work and see how they approached this. I came up with my own simple system to estimate wind in flight, but it requires indicated airspeed as an input.
