      Is it doing it all the time or just near the end of the flight? Depending how your esc is set to cut off, soft cut off can cause the kick your talking about as it "pulses" the power.

      check your tail slider isn't sticking

      is it a belt drive or torque tube?

        Also have a look at the ribbon cable from the gyro, ensure it isn't fretting against the frames and causing a short (assuming you have carbon fibre frames)

            update guys, sorted, ive found a small M2 bolt come loose by the tail pitch control arm, so guessing the the bolt was jamming the arm, dont know how i missed that when i done my preflight checks,,,,,, thanks for pointers any way.
