If you look up the definition of drone you certainly would be correct in that any remotely piloted vehicle is considered a drone according to those resources. I just disagree with that definition.
There was no such think as wikipedia back when I learned how to fly and a drone was something that was launched from a aircraft carrier for target practice and meant little else.
