Flaps/No flaps...practical difference??
Landing flaps in Schleicher ships give you a nice steep approach and aileron control once on the ground.
Negative flap helps with aileron control in the initial ground run on aerotow. But each available flap setting gives you another opportunity to get it wrong. Exceeding maximum speed for a given flap setting can make bad things happen. Pay attention to the white triangles on the airspeed.

What George and JS said and in addition, landing speed and the angle of attack needed to lift off at high wing loadings.
