Chico Yo-Yo Company out of Chico, California was known for manufacturing very high-quality, precision yo-yos. That high quality also came with a fairly hefty price tag. In January 2012, CYYC released their first budget-conscious yo-yo: The Flyer. At 50.3mm wide and 40.6mm in diameter, the Flyer is considered a mini. It also shares nearly identical specifications as CYYC's T-Bone model and Flattop model, although it is slightly heavier at 67 grams.
The arrow-straight body ends in a slightly stepped H-profile. The rim is angled but flattens out halfway to the edge to assist with inner-ring grinds.
The super-low edge makes the Flyer very controllable. In addition to its well-designed shape, the Flyer comes with a CYYC 10-ball bearing for smooth, long spins. Response comes in the form of custom cut silicone pads that were made in the USA out of high temperature silicone and have a strong adhesive backing. You can also replace the pads with flowable silicone, if desired.
The Fly was initially released in a purple/black marbled coloring. It was later released in very limited quantities of all blue (seen in this exhibit).
Original retail price: $75 US.
