RTL Great, Stabilise Excellent, but Auto not so much!

Hi All

I had a very successful test on Saturday with Return to Launch and Stabilise modes, but on Sunday, when I tried some waypoints, my craft just dipped with a slight bank, so we had to switch back to manual. I've tried twice, with no sign that it's going to save itself.

Two observations:

When testing on the ground, the autopilot only engages what looks to be 50% throttle, not enough to fight the wind and change direction.
The wind was at about 10-15kph.

Out of interest, here is the second attempt: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/UXT9MT6LfqZ8bvnCQ5nz6Q?feat=directlink

Many thanks for any help.

Hi all

Just an update. I've switched off Absolute Altitude and ... it worked! Perfect! As if it's nothing at all.

Incredible software, thanks a million to the team. What a remarkable thing.

Where do I donate??

Have you set the altitude in the planner to AGL.
Have a look at the logs from your stabilized flight to determine what the altitude is
