Fabulous winger right on course, initially (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roc

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fabulous winger' is the definition.
'roc' can be an answer for 'winger' (mythological bird of prey). I'm unsure of the 'fabulous' bit.

'right on course initially' is the wordplay.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'right on course' is 'ROC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roc that I've seen before include "Vast bird of legend" , "Big bird" , "Legendary thing" , "Cor! what a fabulous bird" , ".Fabulous bird of the East" .)
