It's really a matter of scale. Try making & assembling a heilcoper-like swash plate &c at the size of a typical drone. Then try repairing it :-) Where with electric motors, you can use electronic PWM to change rotation speed in microseconds.
But scale that up to a full-size helicopter, and try to find an engine which will respond quickly enough for quad-copter style control...
