Almost certainly. Although the word "drone" is used mostly, it really applies to UAV's and UAV was the term used frequently in the regs before these ones.

They use the word drone as it's what the general public mostly commonly associates with them. The proper term would be multirotor.

Anyways, that's splitting hairs but yes, remote control aircraft of any type would certainly fall under this too.
