You would have to ask an aeronautical engineer or bird biologist, but a safe bet would be that it would fly slower and would hover less efficiently -- if at all.

Since, in any flying situation (including airplanes and helicopters), lift more-or-less exactly balances the force of gravity in level flight or a hover, anything that reduced lift would reduce those capabilities. To a certain extent, lift can be increased by increasing the wing's angle of attack, but this would produce more drag and slow it down.
