Gliding Economy status?

With prideful boasting of reusing white tape, I was curious if the Covid issue, has caused glider order cancellations? Have manufacturers changed longer term plans, forecasts, hiring? Will this be the end of smaller manufacturers in our sport? I am sure many pilots have put thoughts on hold of buying a new glider. But what if any adjustments are or can be made to ensure the health of our sport, the viability of FOB's, of manufacturers, of resellers, line boys/girls...

Yes.

of Fonzies putrid ball mid-season, even though I gave him new tape)...

Never met Fonzie, but I heard tales of his used tape fetish many times. I resolved to never be "that guy," except for his equally celebrated personality and flying expertise.

Unfortunately, I failed at that also. Maybe I should start saving my tape.
