Default ASH25 out to kill you?

Martin,
Why are you thermalling in zero flaps? I always went to first positive
flap position when thermalling the ASH-25 and never had a departure or
even drop a wing.

I did that primarily because I preferred the glider's feel in position 3.
It always felt too stately in thermal flap (4) and didn't seem to climb
that much better, except in very weak conditions.
