I've been trying to dial in my new build - rctimer x650 clone, rctimer 30A escs (simonK), 2814 motors, flysky, NAZA, 5000Mah 4S, and am having an issue. Here is the list of things I've done already - balanced multirotor, balanced props, reinforced crappy rctimer booms, calibrated ESC's to radio, used remote gains to try to find sweet spot.
Here is the issue I've been having. No matter what the gains are at, I get a bit of an erratic jump every half second to a second or so. If I set the gains higher, it seems to get worse. Its not like gain oscillation, but jumpier and more erratic. I'm beginning to suspect the ESC's as I've heard of others with problems with the RCTimer ESC's. Also felt the ESC's today after flying and they felt pretty hot. Anyone have any thoughts on this problem? I'd love to get this thing flying smoothly!

I had that once, it turned out to be a bad V-sen unit. It was a new one. I was seeing some noise!!

Noise can come from other sources as well. especially the vid.tx. check also for bad cap. soldering on the ESC. or broken wire.
