How high were you at the time? You apparently remained close to it for quite a while since you maintained visual contact while watching it "gyrating towards the ground" (at normal approach speeds you'd have just a few seconds before it was well behind you).
But on the face of it you have just confessed to a prima facie case of criminal damage and violating the ANO. If I actually believed the story had any basis in reality I would report it, but I think we both know why I won't be doing that.

First, the military HF in our helicopters had significantly more than half a watt in the 1960s and 1970s. It was an essential part of our comms package for world wide contact.
Second, what ANO in the 1960-70s do you imagine related to operations of remote controlled models, and how do you suggest anything was in violation by a military helicopter?
For a model plane driver you do seem to come here with some ill informed and unwarranted nonsense.
