The difference is people aren't flying multirotors for fun at the launches.
They would be doing it for aerial photography. A MR flying 100' above the
flight line is out of the way from all but the worst rocket disasters in
which the rocket itself would endanger the flight line.
As with many things, all is fine until something goes wrong and then it
isn't.
I'm sure TRA is already in the process of putting language into the rules.
Imagine having video of the drag race from 200'
Agreed- one issue is the noise that they make would make it harder to hear
the LCO and announcements.
Maybe have a couple of rounds per day where they would be ok? If you want
the rocket to be recorded from higher up then launch during that round? Or
does this add too much complexity to an already busy day?
Rockets blow up, skywrite, lawn dart, and land on cars already. Is this
increasing that risk or not?

UAV'S, COPTERS, PLANES, ETC, all of these are really fun, exciting, and neat
to watch. But this is a HP Rocket Launch, could I go to a RC Field and
launch high power rockets while there aircraft are in the air??? Probably
not.
I'm not going to say we should allow them or not allow them. What would HQ
Tripoli say???? With these in the air,skies are not clear. I'm not trying to
be a joy kill here.
They would make rocket hunting a snap. When a countdown is in process, they
need to be grounded. God forbid something go wrong. We would hate to put our
hobby we all enjoy in jeopardy.
