I definitely think you should go with your second idea, as you say the first would just be your normal average B&M flyer, but the second idea is actually very original, I think you should try and make that one and put a lot of effort into it to make it your smoothest and most realistic and just generally your best ever, because that is a great idea, I like it a lot. Perhaps it could be like a jet fighter taking off from an aircraft carrier, with a sudden burst of speed and acceleration, I like it [;)]
