So, based on all of that, for DJI Phantoms and the like, it's a free-for-all in CTA up to 400ft and as high as you like OCTA - which is pretty much what I said in my first post.
No you can't.

101.055 Hazardous operation prohibited
(1) A person must not operate an unmanned aircraft in a way that creates a hazard to another aircraft, another person, or property. (As manned aircraft are allowed to operate down to 500ft in unbuilt up areas, except in the course of taking off and landing, operating an unmanned aircraft at ≥500 ft. would create a hazard to manned aircraft. This is exactly the same logic that is applied to someone that drives a car in a hazardous manning that could endanger other people’s lives. It doesn’t matter if there are other people or not. The act in itself is what is hazardous).

(2) A person must not launch a rocket that is not an aircraft in a way that creates a hazard to an aircraft.


(3) A person must not launch a rocket that is not an aircraft in a way that creates a hazard to another person or to property.


(4) It is not a defence to a charge of contravening subregulation (1), (2) or (3) that the relevant unmanned aircraft was being operated, or the relevant rocket was launched, in a way that complied with the operations manual of an approved aviation administration organisation.

(5) In subregulations (2) and (3):

rocket includes a firework rocket, regardless of whether it can rise more than 400 feet above ground level or not.
