Both electric or gas engine designs did equally well.

The most interesting part was watching the failure modes: main helicoptor rotors snapping under payload weight, wind gusts sending quadcoptor controls into an uncontrollable regime. Batteries and electric motors heating up under load stress.

That original life form formed as soon as the earth became suitable for life.
