I see schools rent out their gyms all the time to outside organizations. My daughter does cheerleading. They rent a gym weekly and cheer is more dangerous than RC . Outdoor tracks in a field, often involve someone into RC building a track on their own land. Then the club members help build and maintain the track. All I am saying is, when your costs out weight your profits, you close. How do you fix that? Lower your costs....You will never stop people from shopping online. The only thing you can control is your own cost structure.
