A "bit of a flyer" is a risky move. It comes from sailing where one boat may sail off on a different tack from the other boat(s) in a race, hoping he wind will be a bit stronger. If the wind is indeed stronger, the boat will gain on or pass the field; if not, the flyer will lose ground. The safer play normally is to stay with the pack.
