Recommended Changes
To Section 2
Since the club is no longer just helicopters but Gyro-planes too. I suggest that the word “helicopter” be changed to RotorCraft.
Also there should be a statement giving a definition of RotorCraft. Example (RotorCraft is anything that is not construed as a fixed wing airplane)
I think the word “Helicopter” should be replaced by the word “RotorCraft”
Also the phrase (RotorCraft is anything that is not construed as a fixed wing airplane) should be added for definition clarity
I think rotorcraft is self explained
