I know what you mean. I used to feel more comfortable at the club field, but my group of guys has gotten permission to fly at a couple of places and at those sites, its the same for me. One thing I try to do is vary the places where I fly, so I dont drive the neighbors nuts. I often go out during the day for one flight and then come home. Those outings I'm obviously not at the park or whatever for very long. When I'm going to fly for a long time I tend to go to the places that either I have permission to be on, or are not near any houses. Its an interesting time to be in this hobby. E helicopters have made it possible to fly in so many non traditional spots, and the internet has in some ways replaced the local club as the main source of information. So I feel we are entering a decentralization era in terms of flying sites. I suspect, too, there are many groups like the one I fly with that are not organized clubs, but function in very much the same way. I see this as a very good thing, benefitting the comsumer/hobbyist in pretty much every way.
