Details[]
The Flyte CS-10 is a semi-automatic clip-fed blaster, similar to that of the N-Strike Elite Stryfe. It features compatibility with barrel extensions, though it does not come packaged with one. A clip release button sits in front of the firing trigger, as a part of the trigger guard. The clip well is notably shallow, causing some clips to stick out farther than on other clip system blasters. The battery tray is integrated into the blaster's front grip, rather than in the rear of the blaster.
Unlike other flywheel blasters, the Flyte lacks a sensor on its jam door, meaning it can be opened even if the blaster is being revved up.[1]
A single tactical rail is located on the top of the Flyte, in front of the jam door. It features two sling points near the front of the blaster.
The Flyte's barrel extension point does not have a divot for a barrel extension's locking beat to sit in. As a result, larger barrel extensions may wobble around when the blaster is in motion.

In May of 2021, a blue color version was released.

Trivia[]
- The Flyte is the first Alpha Strike blaster to use a proper N-Strike number code. However, similar to other blasters, its name should technically be "Flyte ECS-10", due to it being battery-operated.
- The Flyte and the Hammerstorm are the first Alpha Strike blasters to feature attachment points of any sort.
- The Flyte is the first flywheel-powered Alpha Strike blaster.
- It is also the first clip system Alpha Strike blaster, and the only motorized blaster in the series.
- The Alpha Strike logo is absent from this blaster.
- The Flyte likely takes its name from the word "flite", which means to engage in sharp debate. Flite is a synonym to the word "strife", from which the Stryfe takes its name from.
