So I saw a helicopter called havoc heli. It's the one where u can adjust the little fin on the black stick. So is it a good plane.
Answer
Well the Havoc heli will work but in the long run, your gonna want something better. Don't waste your money on the little Airhogs stuff that break after a period of time. The heli I would recommend would be the E-Flite Blade mCX! $79.99 RTF(Ready to Fly) so there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you need to complete the package. But here are some terms in case you need to know them. The Black Stick is called the tail boom, The little fin you could call the tail fin so that's ok. The Heli that i am recommending is 4 channel which means 4 functions. On the Havoc, you only have 2 which is Up/down, Rotate(yaw) Left/Rotate(yaw) left. That's it. The mCX however is 4 channel so it can do the functions the havoc can do and it can go Forward/Backward and move Side/to Side and it's a much better design and it's actually a real heli. Even though it's the same size as the havoc, it's far bigger in it's possibilities! I know $80 might sound a lot but you will LOVE it GUARANTEED! I have been in this hobby for about 3 years now flying gas and electric and trust me you will love the mCX. So the website you get QUALITY stuff is at HorizonHobby.com and they are having a sale that when you buy one Ultra Micro(the mCX is called ultra Micro because it's small) but you can get $10 back so it's really $70. Don't get BNF because that's a little cheaper but it doesn't come with the Transitter (Remote but it's really called transmitter) so you need your own DSM2(Technology the heli uses) and you probably don't have one because they are about $150 and up and so you should really get the RTF because it comes with everything. Please don't get havoc as it will break in a few days of arrival. The mCX also comes with better warranty, protection(cardboard box that you store the heli in). Many people get Quality stuff and end up having a much better time with it. The heli is made by the company E-Flite which is a very good company and is very reliable. They also make heli's for people who are looking for the next step which is the Blade mSR but that's down the road. The mCX is a better choice for someone who hasn't flown a professional RC Heli. Good Luck with your choosing and I really hope you get the mCX just because it will do you much better in the long run. Anyways, you can check out my YouTube channel which is Rcflyyer1 and I have videos of RC Planes and Helis. If you go and visit your local hobbyshop, they will tell you mCX is the best or they may tell you the Scout is better (3 Channel Helicoptor) but my mCX has never let me down :)

When will the military stop using overpriced military contractors?
Lalalalala
And look for innovative citizens who can make things cheaper and far more innovative? As demonstrated by this video.

Reagan - Don't be asinine. Building a huge helicopter drone isn't going to be doing anything for surveillance besides making a huge overpriced target. That's likely to be shot down and reengineered by entrepreneurial Chinese technicians.
Answer
Actually, you'd be surprised at how much DARPA will talk to people from small industry and businesses to make developments. I know a lot of the Navy relies on small business for our work (especially in the industrial/manufacturing side of things). These guys just haven't sold it to the right people. And there's a really thorough contracting and testing process for things like this. People in the defense industry are great at saying they can come up with all sorts of great things cheaper, but then don't deliver. Once you have to try and make it meet government standards, it gets harder.
The military will stop using overpriced contractors when they can produce it on their own, cheaper. Which will never happen, since the military has gotten out of the "owning industries" business, and relies on civilians to do it cheaper.
While he may have reduced production costs, he's made some of the other costs harder. Wireless RC remotes aren't going to work for counter-IED robots. Wires are better. If you have to go with wireless, that's going to cost you a lot in making the controls work around the counter-IED Jamming.
A lot of the reason we go with big companies is experience-they know how to deal with government contracting. It's easier some of the times to go with familiarity who can meet government standards. This is before we talk about the overall program development process, which is a huge bureaucratic nightmare that has some areas that rightly should be reformed.

O RLY? Because you've seen the videos and watched what they can do? I have, and I vehemently disagree with your statement. Even if they get shot down, so what? It's cheaper to do that than use a manned aircraft to do the same thing, since there's no risk of pilots getting killed. And actually, they are FAR less of a target, than a manned aircraft. They crash more, but that's a developmental phase and control problem. Again, though, who cares if they crash?
