So UNFLYABLE is a word and BANEFULLY isn't?

They’re both words; it depends on the lexicographer which unfortunately causes the problem. BANEFULLY is in the Collins dictionary but not in Oxford Dictionaries Premium. On balance, unless BANEFULLY is the scramble, I don’t think it’s a good conundrum.

A malevolent look is baleful, not baneful
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

That's as maybe, but baneful is the adjective derived from bane (a cause of great distress or annoyance), as in "the bane of my life".
