I think that too high a tail will simply require moore speed for take off...as with a higher than proper tail will give less angle of attack, even approachinga negative figure, with excessive heigth...
This has no effect on flying, and only beneficial effect on landing, as you dump even more lift on nose wheel touch down,,, But it will effect the speed necessary to have sufficient flow over the elevator so that you can lower the tail ---raise the nose to aquire positive angle of attack and lift...necessary to take off and fly. Thus, it probably will affect short field take off.... I am confidant that F. Weick decided on a compromise that resulted in the best of both worlds, with landing safety first.
