Again! Only apply full flap when you know you are going to make it to the runway!

You wouldn't want to apply it before that, there's no need and no recovery if your thrust is lost.

Sunfish, you should give it a go. Practice up a bit higher and see what happens to your glide when you drop the flaps and re-apply them.
