Actually, i think i'd agree with that. Its "realistic" that if an aerial vehicle (drone or w/e) is spotted by opfor, that it would take small arms fire. Plus, the ability to shoot it down prevents the operator from abusing such the asset in unrealistic ways and force him/her to use it strategically.
And if it does get shot down, unlike a real heli thats worth hundreds of thousands along with the legal strings, an RC plane is relatively cheap. I could see a build thats cheap externally, but robust where it needs to be so that when shot down, the important parts can be salvaged. Hell, it could also turn into an objective.....recover the shot down drone :P

Idk, just an idea.
