Neither english clubs I belong to allow solo flying, my Spanish club does.
It is a very silly situation that i am not allowed to fly alone in an area reserved for model aircraft but i may walk across the road and fly alone in a public park with no arguments.
It would make more sense if solo flying was allowed but limited to small electric park flyers.
There has been much progress in small electric aircraft, maybe it time to reconsider.
I know about the arguments of health and safety, there are many thing I do alone which are dangerous, if you look at them that way, that is up to me.
