Or just perhaps that's where they see significant growth potential. The marketing guys for the big hobby companies aren't dummies. They're just like any other marketing specialist. They're gonna look at the demographics and decide where the growth potential is, and then market to that area.
These guys carreers rest on making the right decision on where the growth will be, and positioning the company to market to and supply those areas. I think they could care less whether it's small electrics or 1/2A glow. They want to know where the volume will be and that's where they are going to spend their money and make their efforts.
Do you have any comments on what Horrace said/implied?
