Here's a short video on how I did the Auto Take OFF on my TBS Caipirinha II using the Pixhawk lite with Arduplane 3.9.1 stable. This is executed using a mission, plane should be on AUTO mode to do it.
The same procedure is applicable on other air frames such as conventional air planes, v-tail, or t-tail. But the Take Off Pitch angle may need to be varied. For such air planes, I would recommend a lower pitch angle of 18 to 20 degrees.
RTL may be added as second command in mission, so your plane will immediately return to home location after reaching the desired altitude. Alternatively, a waypoint can be used if you intend to continue a full mission flight, or just switch off from AUTO mode to another flight mode like Stabilized or FBWA or Manual mode to take control.
It's quite worth noting that this mission is applicable in any location, since no waypoint is used. This implies that you do not need to upload new mission every time you want to use the auto take off. You will use the same mission. All you need to do is switch to AUTO mode then launch your plane. However, it requires to have a home point recorded prior to arming if you are to use RTL.
