First off, thanks for taking the time look in on this thread.
I'm every new using the "homebrew" toolkit, and while some things are clicking (items are getting there) others are clear as mud. I want to get to the point I'm able to understand it and do it myself, but that's going to a take a while.
If possible, I would really appreciate a walk through on how to make this feat (see below) into a working thing. I don't think the second feature "magical flight" actually needs a mechanic for the character sheet, since wearing medium / heavy armor doesn't actually effect Fairy racial flying speed.
This is what I'm trying to make work: yep I'm a complete newbie at this, I've tried reading up on code snippets, but I learn best by seeing things in action, which I can't do without other folks items (unless there is a way to and I'm just not aware of it - in which case please enlighten me and I'll happily learn it from AH HA! moments.)
And - thanks everyone in advance of any assistance or insight you can offer, for either this specific feat, or methods of learning how to ... learn to .. them. It sounded better in my head.
Any how: Fairy Racial Trait: Magical Flight
Legends abound about the Fey's deep connection to magic, Tales of a Fairy's dust being so magical that it can even grant street urchins the ability to fly. You have learned to harness the power of your dust.
Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
You can choose to fly by magic instead of muscle. Your flying speed is still equal to your walking speed, but you can now hover. This magical flight does not require the use of your wings, and is not effected by using medium or heavy armor.
When not using any armor and having no shield equipped you gain a bonus to your AC equal to your chosen stats modifier (minimum of +0).
The flight features, and bonus AC of this feat are sustained by magic, and do not function in areas where magic can not be used.
Is the inability to make a fairy racial feat just a homebrew limitation (ie not being able to make racial feats at all) or specific to fairy?
Disregard, I think I found that answer, looks like an oversight on the addition of the Race, it's just not included on the PREREQUISITE SUB-TYPE, so it's a Fairy specific issue. Looks like Harengon are also not appearing on the racial list.

There is no way to make a Fairy racial feat.
You would have to make it as three feats, one for each of the three ability scores.
The stuff about flight would be plain text.
