Q: Flying Races Manuverability

I've been having a difficult time with the flying races. managed to get a few but ones such as the Silver Surfer race and near the X-Mansion I find the moving right and left difficult without vearing incredibly off course or just dropping. Anyone find a specific flier easier. I've tried Ironman,...
