8. I expressly agrees that this release, waiver, and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of Pennsylvania and that, if any portion of the agreement is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall; notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

11. I understand that this site is open because of delicate relationships developed with the land owners of both, launch and the landing zones, and will do my part to assist in maintaining good relations by not landing in the restricted zones or flying in the class C space, behind launch, which I understand is 2,800 to 4,400 MSL.
