Some of it is, yes.

The 72 mHz band is the `main' R/C plane band, and not ham radio, but
there's frequencies in the six meter band allocated to R/C control.

Several of my R/C planes are on channel 5, 50.900 MHz. Ham band.
According to the FCC regulations, I don't have to ID myself for model
control like this, but I do have to put my call sign on the
transmitter. And so there's a little sticker on the module that says
AD5RH and has my name and number.

I'm not sure how anybody could claim that model control is not a one
way transmission -- the plane doesn't have any sort of transmitter at
all.
