You're dealing in false equivalences here. You're also mixing up at least two different issues. Banning scale aircraft, why? And who said anything about banning multi-rotor? The FAA hasn't polarized anybody, they are attempting to enforce some pretty common sense approaches to this technology. Anyone who doesn't see the potential safety hazard of FPV gear being flown thousands of feet with no real ability for scale aircraft to see them needs to get a reality check. A simple google search in the past 6 months shows plenty of reports by pilots of these things flying around. Although I hope it never comes to it, I think it's only a matter of time before there is more than a "near miss".
