NFPA 1127 will adopt the new rules and it's just a matter of time before it becomes law. So you might as well get used to the Tripoli Rules. I personally don't think that the rules go far enough. Airstart motor electronics should have a shunt or kill switch and it should be accessible while the rocket is on the pad in the upright position. It is also a good idea to have electronics that don't arm the motor until they reach 300 feet AGL.
I agree with the first part, but the 300' limit would prevent you from using electronics to support clusters where you want to ensure that smaller motors in the cluster don't ignite until the main motor ignites.
