don't put things in the FG maintained directories is the first bit of assistance... FG will maintain those files and remove those that do not match what is available on the servers... this is why you have the ability to have custom scenery and craft...
as for the one getting reverted, that depends on your FG version... FG will try to maintain what you have access to based on what is available for your FG version... if you have 2018.3.1 and you put in a craft that only properly works with FG 2019.1.1 and newer, then it will be reverted... it should be because the newer version of the craft isn't in the 2018.3.1 repo... this stops erroneous issue reports of craft not working because they are using newer capabilities in FG than in the old FG version the user has installed...
you get the same if you try to run older craft, too... many of them won't work because the procedures have changed or been removed in newer FG versions...
the key takeaway here is to use the craft that are valid for your FG...

"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
