Relevant to this thread, the BA038 777 Captain was interviewed and mentioned his decision to retract the flaps, so that he could extend his gliding range.

BBC News - Hero BA pilot speaks of Heathrow Boeing 777 crash

Is it wise to apply this experience into lighter aircraft as well, as was the original post's topic?
