Kiting Davis Island?

[KenBrackins]

I heard there was restrictions on kiting around Peter O-knight Airport. I know that area of the bay well and it is nice and shallow on the south side of Davis Island Yacht Club. It seems like a good place to go. Is there any other reason no one kites there? I called the aviation authority and they said you had to be 500 yards from the runway. Actually they were a little unsure of any restrictions. I looked at the satellite view and measured the distance and it is at least 2000 feet from the airport to the south end of the island. I know Lassing Park in St. Pete is awfully close to Albert Whitted Airport and they don't run you off there. Has anyone ever tried to kite at the end of Davis Island? Anyone ever check into it?
