At this moment the rules don't seem to allow for flying vehicles/creatures smaller than 3", while you have loads of 2" land based vehicles. You need at least two size enhancements to obtain flight, while I can imagine jetpacks, ultralights, suitcase helicopters, drones, small bomb dropping balloons, militant vultures, soundwave's laserbeak etc. that are not that big. Would it be an idea to change the size enhancement table so these can be included? At this moment it is: (base 0"), (5" move), (either 5" flight OR 10" move),(10" flight). (15" flight). I would suggest the following: (base 0"), (either 5" move OR 0" flight), (either 5" flght OR 10" move) et cetera. If you want the hovering object to go places you can always strap some small thrusters to it...

of the like 2 people i was ever able to (vaguely consistently) play brikwars with, neither of them were aware that enhancement budgeting even existed
and i never bothered with it myself
so just make sub-3" fliers anyways and use them to deliver pipebombs to the fun police department
failing that just treat them as horses that fly

The rules do allow for it. That's where Impairments come in.usually, people pair flight with half power, for example. So a 2" drone could have Enhancements: +5 move, +5 move, flight and Impairments: Half Power. That is the default at least. you could take any other impairment like making it dumber or cost more Ü or have worse armor

Thanks, that is very helpful. Hadn't thought about it in that way.
