Default Is this normal Brushless behavior?

When everything is plugged in, including the battery, the servos act normal and moving the TX stick the rudder and elevator move?

With the TX throttle stick in the off position the motor doesn't spin? (With the battery still connected to the ESC.)

Upon moving the throttle stick the motor starts to spin and then stops and an LED starts blinking on the ESC? First, I would read my instruction sheet on the ESC and see what that LED is telling you. I suspect you have a bad battery pack - either not charged for some reason or physically bad. The drain of the motor is activating the LVC of the ESC and shutting down the motor. This normally happens to me when my pack is close to full discharge at the end of a flight. I just haven't observed the LED. It first occurs at full throttle and then at lesser throttle settings.
