Default Flaps/No flaps...practical difference??

JS has a point about towing without flaps. The common call is to tell the tow pilot you are full of water. If you are the only standard glider on the field and the tow pilot has a flapped ship, you find yourself mushing off the runway. Give a speed for the tow pilot. (still picking crap out of my shorts.)
