Kids don't read FARs They don't look crossing the street either.
I saw a C150 hit a kit string one time. The string sawed a 3" gash in the
cowlening then wound up around the front hut and broke the front oil seal
Oil everywhere. Soiled pants Pilot.
Kids took off when kite was hit. Since this years ago, no one called FAA,
cops, or their lawyer. owner just fixed aircraft and we put some signs out
at the runway ends. Took some kids for rides and talked to them too. never
happened agin.

I saw a few kids flying kites over the weekend. It occurred to me:
What
if they were flying the kites real high in the vicinity of GA airports?
I
don't think there are any laws about kite flying off airport property.

Yes there are - there is a section in the FARs covering kite flying. Of
course, most kite flyers have never heard of 14 CFR in the first place.
