I don't think those parts of the hobby are over. I think what you're seeing is the sudden and overwhelming popularity of MRs, both in the toy store and the media is simply overwhelming all other aspects of the hobby. For the time being. I don't believe there's been any significant decrease in the numbers participating in helis, scale, etc. And as the drone craze subsides, I wouldn't be surprised to see some droners get involved in fixed wing, scale and such. And the numbers might even increase.
