Help needed on APM fight mode; on stabilize, no servo movements and throttle starts w/o input.

Chris and guys,

Sorry to bother you but I posted yesterday a problem with my APM on flight modes (http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/apm-flight-modes-ok-in-cli-flight-planner-not-responding-on-the?xg_source=activity). To refresh, I have loaded the v2.23 on my APM and underwent the radio calibration. I tested the flight modes on my Skywalker. On manual, all flight surfaces responded correctly. When I switched to Stabilize mode, the motor starts running without input from throttle. The servos would not respond to movements of the APM or the SW. I would assume it is the same with the rest of the modes. I'm looking for answers here as I am exasperated. I have included the latest log and some screen shots as maybe some of you can make a sense of this. Thanks in advance.

I added some very basic things to check on the original post, since I was reading it there. Sorry if you've already check those things, I'm not making assumptions.

Do you need to make sure your switch is forward/away from the receiver pins? I don't know about ArduPlane, but for ArduCoper, if you are in CLI (switch position towards the receiver pins, you can get throttle action on its own.

As you can see from the tlog, you never went into Stabilization mode. You were in Manual mode the whole time while you were wiggling around the plane. Just replay the tlog and watch the HUD (to see what mode you were in) and check the Tuning box to see the graphs.

Check your Modes setup again
