Roller Coaster

Hi,
I have kept the Arrow in the hangar for a while due to the jerkiness of the flight model.
Decided to uninstall and reinstall with the latest version today and took her out for a test flight only to be disappointed that nothing had changed, it is like being on a roller coaster and near impossible to keep her in straight and level flight....at one point she shot up to 2000ft per min with no input from me...Only full down elevator on my yoke saved the day.
Whilst I am not a real pilot surely you should not be flying along with the nose jerking up and down up and down...On final and about to land if you get a jerk down which I do, you're finished.
Unfortunately, shut down pushed back into the hangar and locked up for a while until I can get to the bottom of it as it's not fun and ruins my enjoyment.
Am I missing something?

Are you using the autopilot at all? It is currently not working properly and they are working on a fix. Asking it to control altitude is causing a dramatic nose up pitch until it stalls.
I have found recently the phugoid oscillation (how much the nose goes up and down before settling, after the pilot makes a power/pitch change) to be rather sensitive and if the turbulence setting in the sim is set to anything but "low" it pitches up and down so much I can't really take my hands off the yoke.
I can't say I have experienced the violent jerks you are describing though.
