FD,
I forgot to mention that the friend of mine with the Bonanza V-Tail lost power North of Phoenix a couple of years ago. It was dark and he had two passengers. He put the dead-stick Bonanza down on the median of I-17, gear up, and walked away without a scratch. He's got her back up and flying again with an upgraded engine. So, the V-Tail can be landed with a dead-stick. Apparently, his oil filter was either too tight or too loose and he lost oil pressure when the engine failed.
