Is it possible to use HK quadcopter control board for plane stabilization in FPV?

I have used 3x esky gyros for a plane with pretty good results. I have one spare HK quad control and I was wondering if it could be used instead of three separate gyros.

With four channels, I would like to use differential ailerons and maybe a flaperon mix. Also if it is possible, it would be nice to have gain control proportional to air speed (optional).

So, is there a source available for this?

Edit.

My control board is this old one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=17537

Also I want to add this http://store.diydrones.com/Kit_MPXV7002DP_p/kt-mpxv7002dp-01.htm airspeed sensor for gain adjustment to prevent wobbling due to slow servos. The gain would be something like this: Gain_speed = (V_max - V_read)/V_max This should be used for multiplying the gain from potentiometer for each axis. So it would work as three rate gyros with gain control proportional to (inverted) ADC read from airspeed sensor

So does this code work with HK:s older QuadCopter Control: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1143569&page=232#post15729361

Also I dont need any protection when using only servos. And naturally no need for mixing the throttle (but it could be used as well with flaperon mix).
