No. You will need a new axle, providing you can find one.

Non sealed axles have threads etc on them. I could be wrong, but you will probably find that even if there is some sort of unsealed BB for those cranks it would cost you more than it's worth.

I am 99.9% sure that Flights use a standard 8 spline axle.

You then need umbrella bolts.

If yours are not the same (M8 fine) and a BB

Sadly the BB ain't cheap. They are not common any more, meaning there are hardly any left. You will need a 19mm euro BB. There is one on Ebay, but the company is flaky. I ordered a set of cranks from them and they are drop shippers, meaning they don't hold stock so you usually get jerked around for a fortnight before an unexpected refund /roll eyes.

Thanks for the comprehensive response.
I'm just toying with possible fitments...
I like unusual setups too.
