I'm not completely sure of the meaning of the phrase. In English, maybe

Do you get it right away, or

Do you really get it?

Hola xicotillo.... Lo captas de volada. Could this say "catch it on the fly?"

If so, it comes from sports such as baseball. It means to be quick, adept, agile, and skillful enough to pluck a fly ball out of midair. Used in other contexts it can mean that you have a quick and agile mind -- you can grasp an idea or concept very quickly. I hope I don't have this all wrong. My Spanish is not very advanced.
