My point is that no, it's not illegal based on type of aircraft - it's legal if you have the proper pilot license. And it's not hard to get it (few weekends of study).

I hadnt realized they changed it in 2021, but it still has very explicit rules regarding people and non-participants --

- does not operate over non-participants who are not under a covered structure or in a stationary covered vehicle;

- will pose no undue hazard to other aircraft, people, or property in the event of a loss of control of the aircraft for any reason

The lowest category has this requirement too: Contain no exposed rotating parts that would cause lacerations
