The Solo is going to need more room. If you have a public soccer field nearby, public school baseball field...and if r/c flights are not banned in those locations then I would try there. I wouldn't fly out of a driveway or near buildings because it's not going to be a good experience with any GPS guided r/c aircraft. There could be enough signal reflections to prevent an accurate GPS lock
In an urban areas I would go with a smaller lighter r/c model, not a 4.5lb 3DR Solo.
A solo is great to fly off a pier. Along the coastline out to an island nearby in a desert.. open field. Not over an urban neighborhood. That will not go well. A parrot swing or Bebop drone is small, light and if it hits a car it won't do some manage.
A 3DR Solo if flown in the wrong location and crashes into a car... Can do some damage.
That's why I fly where I fly.
The airfield I fly out of is 25 minutes from my house
and I can follow the river to the ocean. If I fly from my yard to the ocean I have to cross a road... So even though my yard is large enough for a good GPS fix.. I don't fly out of my yard. I fly my wltoys V913 heli and my parrot swing in my yard. My DJI 1.1 , Hobbyking CloudSurfer, 3DR Solo, and Homebrew drone with 3dr APM 2.0 controller all fly out of my club's airfield.
