"An update on this:
I replaced or removed ESC, APM and Motor and problem still there.
So the problem must be inside receiver or transceiver.
I am using turnigy 9X so I am waiting for a new receiver to try.

"@Frank,
Since you updated the APM ArduPlane version firmware, you might want to use the Terminal and CLI to setup your plane with the new firmware version. In the CLI you can reset the APM to standard parameters and do a radio calibration…"
Frank replied to Frank's discussion Strange moves on my bixler (APM 2.0) without touching the sticks?"Hi to all again.
I found a video with the same problem I have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBI8LrA8w0c
Does anyone know how this problem is fixed?
Thanks"
Frank replied to Frank's discussion Strange moves on my bixler (APM 2.0) without touching the sticks?"Hi Tim,
Thank you for your answer.
In the Radio Calibration menu I can see that Roll, Pitch, Yaw and Throttle are making micro-movements without me doing anything. Even when I set mode via MP this phenomenon does not stop. I disconnected wireless…"
Tim McPherson replied to Frank's discussion Strange moves on my bixler (APM 2.0) without touching the sticks?"How do the radio calibration and mode setups look in MP?"

Hi to all.Just came back from the field. Did not fly more than a few minutes or so because I realized that I have strange moves of controls without touching my sticks. This is the video I made when on the ground:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLd0-dEwTP4When back home I connected to Media Planner and I saw on Hud that flight modes were changing on their own without any movement of the plane or input by me. In the flight mode configuration…See More

Frank replied to Gobind Moore's discussion Need help with UAV Plane"I agree with Hamish. With 3DR radios you will get a better range."
Frank commented on Earl's blog post Balloon #6 7-27-12 OOPS !"Hi Earl,
I am a ham too. I see you are using a Byonics GPS. Is it the Byonics GPS4 or GPS2? Are you using the TinyTrak for APRS or other equipment?
I am waiting the results on Friday! Can we follow on APRS.fi? Good…"
Frank commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post Announcing APM 2.5!"Just to say congrats for the rapid business development of 3dr and all new products coming in the near future."
Frank replied to Frank's discussion I have my APM 2.0 for 1 week but no flight yet :)"Mike,
You are absolutely right. It was an RC calibration problem.
I clicked the "calibrate", moved all the sticks and switches through all their positions and clicked "done". Throttle is OK now in all modes.
Thank you…"
Michael Pursifull replied to Frank's discussion I have my APM 2.0 for 1 week but no flight yet :)"Stabilize mode does not control the throttle. Which is why it sounds like either 1) a wiring problem (which is why I asked about how it is wired) or 2) an RC calibration problem."
Michael Pursifull replied to Frank's discussion I have my APM 2.0 for 1 week but no flight yet :)"1 - you must complete the RC calibration process to tell the APM what your max and min throttle (and all channels) settings are. It doesn't much matter what your settings are, any normal range will do. The PWM values you have shown are good.…"

I would be glad if you could answer these two last questions to help me:
