(canceled) ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 which includes a kite control system located in between the base and the kite. ### Claim at position 4 6-14. (canceled) ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement includes a plurality of organisers which organisers take the form of at least one frame like element pivotally arranged about the base, and/or wherein the organisers take the form of a plurality of frame like elements slidably arranged about the base. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement includes a plurality of organisers wherein at least one of the plurality of organisers takes the form of a set of engagement formations positioned opposed one another and whereby when in use, twisting/rotation of the engagement formations results in straightening of or tensioning of or stretching out the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 16 wherein each of the set of engagement formations takes the form of a plurality of rods arranged in a spaced apart manner and mounted onto a rotatable arm. ### Claim 18 (canceled) ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the engagement formations extend from an arm suspended pivotably for orienting the sets of engagement formation towards and away from one another, respectively. ### Claim 20 (canceled) ### Claim 21 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement includes one or more sets of organisers, operable dependently from one another in a rotatory movement within a set. ### Claim 22 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement takes the form of a plurality of organisers, which plurality of organisers are displaceable by lateral and/or translational and/or transversal displacement of one organiser relative another for organising and/or manipulating and/or controlling of the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim at position 13 23-24. (canceled) ### Claim 25 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement includes a plurality of organisers for organising the one or more kite connecting lines by rotation of at least one of the plurality of organisers. ### Claim at position 15 26-27. (canceled) ### Claim 28 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement comprise at least one organiser for organising the one or more kite connecting lines by rotation of the organiser in direction transversally the chord axis of a kite connected to the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim 29 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement comprise at least one organiser for organising the one or more kite connecting lines by rotation of the at least one organiser in direction substantially parallel the chord direction of a kite connected to the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim 30 (canceled) ### Claim 31 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement takes the form of one or more rotatable cylinders for winding up and release of at least a portion of the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim 32 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement takes the form of one or more cylinder-like shapes, such as a polygon pole, or a square bar, or a triangular-shaped bar, or a two/multi-rods decoiler, for winding up and release of at least a portion of the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim 33 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement takes the form of a plurality of organisers and wherein each of the organisers comprising the plurality of organisers rotate at differential speeds relative one another to control the flight of the kite during launch and/or landing. ### Claim 34 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement takes the form of a plurality of rotatable organisers wherein the rotatable organisers are configured to wind up bridles or kite connecting lines extending from the kite canopy, while at the same time rolling in bridles or kite connecting lines extending from the kite control system, while the kite control system roll out the kite connecting line(s) or bridles, at the same time and at a similar speed. ### Claim 35 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement includes a plurality of arms displaceably arranged relative one another. ### Claim 36 (canceled) ### Claim 37 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement includes a plurality of arms, which is positioned so that the organisers do not touch the one or more kite connecting lines, and are moveable to connect and interconnect with the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim 38 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement takes the form of a plurality of organisers, at least one of which include a catch mechanism for operatively engaging the organiser with a portion of the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim 39 (depends on 31) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 31 wherein the cylinder includes a catch mechanism for operatively engaging the cylinder with a portion of the one or more kite connecting lines. ### Claim at position 28 40-42. (canceled) ### Claim 43 (depends on 1) A kite launch-land system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organising arrangement includes one or more reefing frames, arranged around organisers, to reef the one or more kite connecting lines and/or the kite. ### Claim at position 30 44-51.
