What seems ridiculous to me is that one can fly an ultralight "Paramotor" with a passenger and have no height restriction or license to fly. The premise is the FAA believes there is little chance of injuries to others if it malfunctions. However they fly at many thousands of feet and it occupys airspace with planes the same as a drone would yet drones can't fly above 400 feet. I would imagine that an ultralight would do way more damage it it collided with a plane. The requirements the FAA places on drones seems way overboard as compared to a much heavier ultralight with occupants.
