@UltimaDude, why do you think that Susanoo flight is granted by the Rinnegan? It's true that we haven't seen Sasuke's pre-Rinnegan PS and thus don't know if it would've differed from the post-Rinnegan PS, but Kakashi already showed us a PS with a regular MS (although seemingly reinforced by the Six Paths Power), and his version had winds too, so winds for flight are a part of Susanoo structure of several users. Since Susanoo is still an MS jutsu, not the Rinnegan jutsu, there's no clue implying that Rinnegan adds the wings to it.

Yeah, would be really odd if the IT user himself would've been affected by it.
