I have no idea how to cost this stupid thing, or if it should have flash. Any help would be appreciated.

Made the "f" in "flying" lower case. Formatting nitpick.

Fixed the mana symbols in the unearth cost.

Interesting. Ignoring the unearth cost for the moment, this is already fair: a 1/1 flash flyer costs about 2 mana, and so does a cantrip creature (bizarrely, both examples are green: Scryb Ranger, Elvish Visionary). So combining them into a 3-mana creature sounds fine.
Adding unearth is a nice touch on an ETB creature, but doesn't have to drive the price up much. So overall, this seems entirely appropriately costed. Good job :)

It's interesting to compare this to Mulldrifter. This gives you the same return on investment as Mulldrifter (two cards and two flying power), for 3+4 mana rather than 5, but this has to die for you to get the second half of it. But Mulldrifter is Ann exceptionally strong card!

(formatting help)
Enter mana symbols like this: {2}{U}{U/R}{PR}, {T} becomes {2}{u}{u/r}{pr}, {t}
