Final Approach KSNA

I have been making apporaches at KSNA for my I-01. 3nm from runway the airplane lifts up and I go above the GS. Then in order to get back down onto GS I have to almost dive with over a 1000 fpm decent. I let the AP do the approach and the same thing happens. I am stable on my decent up to that point. I have used a different aircraft and the same thing happens. I also flown an approach at a different airport and there isn't any problem. Has anyone else experianced this? I have the wx set to fair, so it shouldn't be that.

Thanks
Mike
