You can add a thumbnail by pasting a small screenshot of the aircraft named thumbnail.jpg to its Texture folder. Use the default aircraft for reference.

This won't necessarily fix your problem. I think that's in the Aircraft.cfg ui_xxx entries. Note the quotes " " on these entries from a default FSX aircraft.
