You guys have all missed the essential part; see 101.1(a)(2), which
says the rest of 101 applies to:
"Except as provided for in §101.7, any kite that weighs more than 5
pounds and is intended to be flown at the end of a rope or cable."

So except for 101.7, which says that " No person may operate any
moored balloon, kite, unmanned rocket, or unmanned free balloon in a
manner that creates a hazard to other persons, or their property,"
there are NO specific restrictions on kits weighing less than 5 lbs...
you can legally fly it anywhere, anytime, any altitude.
