Default Directional control after touchdown...

I would say so. The following article has a graph shows the
relationship on average between wind speed and height. The difference
between the wind at 1m (about the average height of your Bo wing) and at
2m (about the average height of a 182 wing) is about 10%.


My Bo wing is 4'2" at the tip. I know that because I installed a
furnace in my hangar last month. The code calls for the furnace to be a
minimum 10 feet above the wing. I'm 6'2" and coud not walk under the
wing of my 182 as it sat on its big tires. So I would say the top of
the wing tip there would be at most 6'6". Even according to your
generalized graph an 18 meter difference in height brings a 5 kph
difference in windspeed, the difference between about two feet is
trivial and certainly not a factor at all for the subject at hand which
was stability of the airplane because one is a high wing and one is a
low wing.
