In Freerider it is possible to adjust the physics settings too. If you feel that the drone is too floaty you might want to increase the gravity. You might also want to increase the drag (if the drone behaves to 'slippery' so to speak, like a soap in a bathtub).
My suggestion is to select the either the Snappy1 or Snappy2 preset and adjust the rates to your liking from there. (The Snappy1 handles a bit easier for beginners).
