Well, I'm lucky. I belong to two clubs here in central Fl and to fly on Saturdays or Sundays is an ordeal.
There are soooo many people flying you have to wait your turn.
I'm also lucky to have an afternoon or two off a wk, and then there is nobody and the field is all yours.
I even learn ( with a steel cable for restraint ) to start my 30cc gasser all on my own
.
Both clubs are still healthy with all types of planes, from slow sticks to 100cc
