MoFly P-51D – FAQ & Troubleshooting
1) The MoFly P-51D video app shows thumbnails but no video (iPhone)
In Settings › [MoFly P-51 app], enable Photos (All Photos), Local Network, and Files.
Disable iPhone Auto-Lock while recording (or use Guided Access) so the phone doesn’t sleep.
After landing, tap Stop Recording and wait 5–10s before closing the app or powering off (this finalizes the file).
Try Save to Phone vs Save to microSD and test a short clip.
2) Best microSD card & format
Use a quality U1/U3 microSD (8–64 GB).
Format: FAT32 (≤32 GB) or exFAT (64 GB).
If files are empty/corrupt: re-format the card, or test another known-good card.
3) Recording stopped mid-flight
Usually caused by the iPhone lock screen. Turn off Auto-Lock (or use Guided Access) before recording.
4) Can I use an alternative to the app for video?
Yes. iOS Screen Recording reliably captures the app preview into your Photos as a backup.
5) How do I switch the MOFLY P-51D transmitter between Mode 1 and Mode 2?
The included transmitter ships in Mode 2 by default unless another mode was requested. To switch modes, power it off, hold the top-left and bottom-right special-function buttons, then press the power button while continuing to hold both. Repeat the same steps to switch back. In Mode 2, the throttle is on the left; in Mode 1, it is on the right.
6) Which trim controls are which (Mode 2)?
Follow the labels in the transmitter diagram. Quick check:
Tap a trim and see which surface moves: tail up/down = elevator, tail left/right = rudder, wings opposite = aileron.
Trim 2–3 clicks at a time in calm air, re-test, repeat.
7) Nose looks slightly off after a light crash—normal?
A small built-in right/down thrust angle is normal on the MoFly P-51D.
If it still flies straight and there’s no strong vibration, no fix is required.
8) How to check vibration / “wobble”
Spin the prop by hand—if the tip wobbles, try a new propeller first.
Re-seat the spinner/prop hub fully on the shaft.
Strong vibration after a bump may indicate a bent prop or shaft.
9) Can I pull the motor out to inspect the mount?
Yes. Remove spinner & prop, then the front screws.
Check the plastic mount/firewall; re-seat squarely and tighten.
Do not pull by the wires. If foam shifted, warm gently with a hair dryer and press back.
10) What to send support if issues remain
iOS version, app version, microSD brand/capacity, a short video of the issue, and a front photo of the nose/motor area.
