This Maori Kite is a good one. It should be accepted that one need not be a Native to practice a tradition, what counts most is faithful skill. All great traditions belong to all people. When I curated the WKM kite collection, cataloging was the biggest job. Each kite needed a complex form filled out, multiple photos, and measurements taken. I added testing (with brief flight report), to this list, and thus got to fly every kind of kite in the collection so catalogued. 

Being very careful, I flew old Asian kites, historic production kites, all manner of weird hobbyist/pro prototypes, briefly, in low wind. A couple of seconds was enough to confirm nominal flight. No damage was observed. It felt like giving life to the kites. The rarest where mostly undocumented "primitive" (advanced) leaf kites, made by timeless unnamed tribes. These flew indoors briefly by hand, caught delicately.  

Organic kites, if they do not rot, even fly a bit better as they age, continuing to outgas volatiles, becoming lighter. We all outgas volatiles and can fly old. The average private pilot is a senior citizen, and hundred-year-olds-skydiving is now a thing. An old EAA t-shirt read, "I am one Medical from flying an Ultralight". They can take away the car keys, but not the HG/PG. Maybe only seniors should be allowed to pilot giant AWES kites at first, to know just when to bypass the autopilot, to call-the-Kill or simply "fly the plane".

Let's train to be the first Toyota Mothership Test Pilots. Then when they realize they need Giant Mothra pilots, we'll be the only ones ready, and suitably old enough. Its irresponsible to let kids fly without seniors first making sure its safe.
