Default Distance judging

Iam having a slight problem with my 4*120. They planted corn again this year, and that junk is TALL! Its over 6', and now I am finding that getting the plane over the tops and not scraping bottom to be a challange. Ineed to get it from 6 feet down to 1 foot as quickly as possible so I dont float into the other side of the field and take out some corn( or more likely damage the plane). The 4* is a floater even with removing the outer bay on each wing. Igot the DLE 20 down as slow as it can go too. Since I have to bring it in steep so I dont loose it over the corn, it comes in fairly hot, so not sure what I can do at this point.

Ialready skimmed the corn with my LT40, thankfully it landed safe, but was rather close as it got the last 2 rows. The last time Iflew the 4* I basically slammed it in, which wasnt pretty, but got it down safe, amazing how much spring that landing gear has.

Oh for the want of a reverse pitched prop with the flip of a switch.
