These threads come up from time to time. It's always the same conversation, just worded a bit differently.

OP- "I want all the benefits of a club without having to join a club."
Responder #1- "You should join a club. They are great."
OP- "I don't like people, rules, or paying for things. I'm not going to join a club."
Responder #2- "You should join a club. They are great for other reasons too."
OP- "I just want a place to fly that's in great condition, safe, and where I won't be bothered and won't bother anyone."
Responder #1- "That's a club field. You should join one."
OP- "I'm on a budget, and 20 or 30 cents of my annual dues might go toward something I don't care about or use. Clubs are a waste of money."
Responder #2- "But look at all that you do get."

Then the conversation goes on for at least one week more after the OP has lost interest and left the thread, gone to another forum to complain about how RCU is all just a bunch of club promoters hell bent on pushing new hobbyists to conform to their rigid model of what RC flying is supposed to be, and then buys a drone.
