I vaguely recall some feats (draconomicon?) that allow someone to fly in heavy armor. That's 3.5, though. You might consider making some alternate racial trait. Maybe reduce land and fly speed to 20 ft. but let you carry a heavy load without slowing down and you can wear plate mail while flying. In this case, I'd suggest hammering out the details with either Vil or the DM of the game you're going to play in.
