+1,
Failure to adapt or try to change to a fast changing market even a little seems like the bigger reason why there's closings these days.
Seeing outlets in the US like Motion taking off to the moon selling more models at lower prices than their Asian counter parts and offering quick free shipping proves the ones who've adapted can compete.
There are plenty of kids interested in RC these days, kids love to fly .... drones ... because they offer
Graduated complexity
Graduated pricing
Offerings in Big Box stores (so its in front of them)
Their friends fly em
I call em gate way devices, a jet of any size usually gets their attention from a drone
