Auto Mode Problems

Hi,

I'm very new to Ardupilot and Mission Planner.  I have a Bixler2 with APM 2.5 and have followed the setup instructions carefully.  I began using Ardupilot with "stabilize" mode and then onto "RTL."  RTL and stabilize work perfectly, but when I tried out a mission with "Auto" mode, I've had bad problems each time I try. 

In Auto, the plane acts like it's trying to get in the general vicinity of the first waypoint and then goes kind of crazy losing and gaining altitude.  I can even see the wings folding up and down erratically as it must be rapidly moving the elevator.  But as I'm new, I still haven't gotten the hang of analyzing log files yet.  I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what my problem is.  Here's some of the relevant info.  Thank you!

  • Also, I used the Bixler standard config file created by Chris Anderson so I don't think it's the PID settings, but it could be.  Could anyone please take a look and offer some help?
