Flaps/No flaps...practical difference??

Point being, anyone seriously claiming 'there's no practical difference in landing capability' between flapped and unflapped gliders is either genuinely ignorant, or 'discussionally choosing' to ignore the very real additional landing-capabilities associated with large-deflection landing-flaps. YMMV, Bob - Cap't. Obvious - W. Sure, if you totally botch landing circuit and approach way too high and fast, '20 flaps will get you down sooner than D2 airbrakes. But if you get into this situation, glider you need is ASK21 with flight instructor.
