I would think you are out of fuel as the P-51 most of the time will have no fuel in the main and a little in the aux tanks
Check the gauge left side shoulder hieght for thr main and on the floor both sides of the seat

LOL....Okay will do that check the fuel gauge...but don't think that is it thought..but what the hey...right???

Edited...Solved!

In FreeFlight....I went into " Fuel/Payload " settings and found the fuel tanks were empty(LOL)..so I filled them to the max..just tested and works fine..

Thanks for pointing in the direction to look...

Silly Me..

There's a fuel gauge for the main tank? I'll have to look for that, didn't know there was one, thanks for that. I knew where the others were on the floor though.
