New firmware (2.5.3) for AC is GREAT!  Its the most stable and smooth I have yet to see.  Good work Devel team and thank you! I am so glad I put my money and energy into ArduCopter.

Finally made it out yesterday to try to automated flight with my quad.  Couldn't get my laptop to connect when I was at the airport. (Small town airport. We see one plane a month.)  Anyway, found out I had a USB problem with the computer.  Got home and tried the computer again and it worked.  As I was playing with the quad in the front yard one of the motors came apart.  The C-Clip on the motor had broke. It was close when the prop went buzzing by my right ear.  I protection is almost a must.

Does my plan look like a simple takeoff and couple points then rtl and land.

Hello Bradley. Having done some auto flights with my quad, I can tell you that your home location will be set to the point where you arm the copter and take off. It's very important you have a solid gps lock before doing so.

Here is my mission.  If you see something wrong please tell me.

Getting ready for my first Auto FLight with my 3DR quad.  One question before I go.  I have mission planner up and running and going to make a flight plan before I head out.  When I get out there will the home alt and coordinates lock, Since I can't set those unless I am out there with the computer.

@Andre - I used to put the Yaw D value to 6 before, that gave me a crisper rudder command. Try it, let me know if it has the desired effect.

Which PID value would I adjust to make my quad's rudder input more sensitive?

Ian, I have/had some trouble like this on my Jdrones Hexa... under the "Motors" command, my motors started firing out of order, instead of starting with motor 1 like it should on the hexa in + config... it started with #4 and continued around the loop. I couldn't get help on it yet, but logically, I figured if I move all my ESC jumpers 1 slot ccw, it should line my motors up properly...  it didn't, they moved one more slot further away on cw.... I am going to try and go the other direction now and see what happens tonight.
