Unfortunately, I would have to agree with you on that. What I see to be the major issue is that many in the R/C hobby have left due to age, cost, health or other "life" factors. What we don't see is new blood entering the hobby world as today's new "hobbyist" isn't looking for a hobby. What they are looking for is something to occupy their spare time until they get tired of it, not something that requires work, practice and learned skills to master.
