I tried a Flyer on an all-rounded mountain bike, with drop bar. I think that the bar -- 46 cm Noodle on 10 cm D Drop stem -- was even with saddle. The Flyer was no worse for me than the B 17, but I don't like the B 17, and I couldn't get the springs to give -- riding the Flyer was like riding the B 17.
Point being, that IME, if you like B 17s, the Flyer ought to be fine with drop bar, at least as long as you are not expecting a lot of "give". I'm not particularly light -- 175.
