Someone mentioned that landing with T or V tail is
better than conventional tail in tall crop.

I'd like to know of someone who has landed
in crop with a conventional tail. Any
stories out there?

It strikes me that the yaw of crop hitting a
wing is the real problem. A conventional tail,
if it grabs the crop BEFORE the wing does,
might actually keep the glider straighter,
kind of a keel effect?

Maybe in 2-3 foot crop this means the
conventional tail is damaged but T-tail isn't,
but in very tall crop, the conventional
tail is damaged and the glider
pancakes in straight in vs. yawing
and rolling T-tail (since a wing hits first).

Any opinions about this? Anyone
have anecdotes? I've wondered
the same thing about high-wing vs. low-wing
water landings in power aircraft...
