If the club is set up correctly, the organization is a separate entity and the board members would not (and should not) be liable in the case of a lawsuit. That's how any non-profit organization or LLC operates.

However, that assumes that it is set up correctly. In my five years of being associated with the club, we never once saw organizational papers or a real financial statement. So, who knows...

Those little electric helicopters can't hurt the carpet. The props are generally made of foam or light plastic and will break away at the first sign of force.
