Hi, I'm just getting into R/C, and am building a "towel" Delta-wing flyer, one mistake at a time.
I've got fully charged lipos, an ESC that seems to be responding correctly, a receiver that appears to be working, and a motor that can maintain rpm only with the TX shut off, and only for a second. I can't get the motor to spin up to takeoff power. Motor and ESC were purchased as a bundle, so I think the ESC (18A, no-name) is appropriate for the motor (370 size B2208, 1800KV).
The ESC is programmed for 3 cell lipos, no prop brake (verified). The TX/RX pair is an HK-t6a.
Here's a video of what happens:

I'd be happy to Google for info myself, but for a change, I can't figure out the right description to make an efficient query. What do I call this behavior? Is it a common thing?
Hope you can make me smarter. Any thoughts are appreciated.
