any ideas on what I can check? The copter is getting the command, I see circle mode on the Mission planner screen. when it goes into circle mode It just seems to drift.

The 3DR tech support folks put me on to your concerns. We do have a bit of confusion in the documentation. We recently changed the units of radius from m to cm. If you are flying 3.1.3 the units are in m. If you are flying 3.2 trunk the units are in cm. Because of the way the documents are automatically generated, they come from trunk / master, not the descriptions in the released code. We don't often have problems with this but here is an occasion where we do have a problem.
Besides the circle mode, One main problem I seem to have, Is once Getting 7 satellite's, it will still show PreArm: Bad GPC POS. In the same field with both a DJI Phantom and A Turbo Ace Matrix, I get a satellite lock with in 30 to 40 seconds. The Y6 I can not arm it even after 5 minutes. What should I look for?

I have updated the wiki to be more clear http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/circle-mode/
Sorry for the confusion.
You can see circle mode is working here http://autotest.diydrones.com/
