The Institute of space systems of University of Stuttgart is using the paparazzi system for large remote sensing aircraft.
The missions include basic research and environmental monitoring. Payloads of up to 7kg are carried.
More information can be found on the Wiki page.
Paparazzi was a big success at the 2009 UAV Outback Challenge held at Kingaroy Airport, Queensland, Australia, Sep. 28-30. Team “Look mAh, no hands!” representing Brisbane Grammar School, won the ‘Robot Airborne Delivery Challenge’ placing 1st, after performing an autonomous mission phase including autonomous payload release. The team consisted of four members in their senior years of high-school, and was led by team captain Ben Paratz. Many thanks to the paparazzi community, not only for the autopilot itself but for the assistance that was enthusiastically given whenever needed. Link to competition

The Paparazzi System has been shown at Paris Le Bourget Airshow by three companies:
ENAC / Paparazzi has won the ONERA-DGA Challenge, in France with a quadrotor. Twelve teams of French Universities out of 19 were
chosen by ONERA-DGA to participate in this two years contest. ENAC
designed a Paparazzi equipped Asctec quadrotor with an IMU
developed in its lab.
Dear Paparazzi members, the registration for EMAV09 is now open at http://www.emav09.org/.
We look forward to meeting many paparazzi teams at this yearly event.
We were back in the Arctic flying Paparazzi aircrafts on Svalbard (N78° E15°) doing research with the Geophysical Institute of the University of Bergen/Norway. There are two teams operating near Longyearbyen, one on the apron of Longyearbyen airport (LYR) and the other at the old northern lights research station in Adventdalen. We had permission to fly up to 1500m outside the airport opening times. The Paparazzi aircrafts work perfectly…for humans it is just a little cold. Last night we flew having -32°C (-25°F) on the ground. There is a video showing a 1500m vertical profile flight.
