When I was doing a SCRAM ascent in the XR2, I engaged the attitude hold autopilot like I normally do but as soon as it pitched me to 2.5 degrees pitch I noticed the CoG shift indicator shift all the way back and the XR2 pitched up to 90 degrees. I tried the flight again and it did the same thing as soon as I engaged attitude hold. I've never experienced this problem before today. Does anyone know what might be causing this or could I be doing something wrong?
 
Make sure you are in pitch hold and not AoA hold. If you try to hold AoA in normal flight it will keep pitching up because AoA will tend to center in normal flight.

I'm sure I set the attitude hold to pitch but I did notice something. The autopilot only loses stability when I set it to a low pitch(like 2.5 degrees) and I'm at a pitch 10 degrees or higher when I engage it.
