you can't simply make RC for any helicopter yourself. you need a helicopter with these systems pre-installed. so the chances are this is military ones are quite high.

may be in a decade when unmanned choppers will be more common we will see these in commercial use, but i doubt UAV will stop being a military toys in next 5-10 years.
the only kind of prototype of conventional helicopter that may be used for transportation i could find was this

Plenty of companies make unmanned helicopters that could be used for that kind of work, so it's not that extreme to imagine.
They already stopped being just military toys FYI.

if thats so - link avaible commercial logistics services with unmanned helicopters. if these are not military toys anymore, you could find plenty of companies providing such services.

also, k-max is not conventional helicopter and unmanned version exists for military use only
how it makes it not a military toy?
