Quote "don't believe I can benefit from them.", sounds like you could benefit by having a good place to fly! Plus you always learn things from your fellow flyers and even make new friends. Your reasons for going it alone are flawed. If you are flying alone with aircraft powered by more than a rubber band and your finger finds the spinning prop you will wish you had some help. If there is a going club with a nice RC field in your area you are missing the boat, rethink it. The best to you.
