I'd expect aerodynamic stability from wings to have a huge effect. Drones are inherently unstable. A glider is easier to figure out than a helicopter. On the other hand, I could see a drone being easier for a computer because it behaves the same in any orientation (projectile motion + directional thrust). Unlike birds with their ears and their eyes, computers don't really have an inherent sense of direction.
