Hmm... how about like dirt kick, but shorter (for a round or two -- dust, water or the like in the eyes, if there's any lying about, or just blinking if there isn't) and maybe half a round of lag, and damage on the order of dirt kick. Should only lag the arial for a round or maybe just under (if terrain is air).

In my opinion, something like this has the right kind of "feel" -- rapid, quick, flighty...
