    Motor pulses when plugged into ESC and receiver

    I recently bought parts for an RC plane (I have little to no clue what I'm doing) and when I plugged everything in the motor would pulse when connected to the ESC. It would then pulse at a different frequency when connected to the receiver. Any idea on why that would happen?
