I have the same situation.  On my 4P, Chelton, Sorcerer, the autopilot is also rock solid in AP mode but hunts, or wing wiggles, in GPSS mode.

Hi Russell

Interesting enough I have issues with my autopilot as well, funny thing is when I am using the Sorcerer as Autopilot it is steady as a rock, and does not have this wing wiggling (which I totally understand how frustrating and annoying this is), but when I am using the Garmin G3X as autopilot input it also is unstable, rocks, turning etc is unstable etc.

So my guy feeling says that you are stumbling on a specific Garmin issue. Where it almost seems like the Garmin is doing too much with sending steering signals to the autopilot, where the sorcerer almost looks like it 'dampens' the signals (I have not other way to put it, I hope you understand?)

Did you had the sorcerer before and upgraded to the  G7x?

Check out the YouTube video of my Evolution autopilot anomalies. I wish Lancair would learn what customer services is from Apple!
