Question V-Tail'ed Bush Plane

In a previous thread I inquired about a t-tail being lifted with propwash. That apparently won't happen due to the HS being above the prop's wash which makes sense. In light of this discovery I must now ask if a V-tail will lift with propwash? The same scenario applies here, watching the Valdez STOL competitions the planes will lock brakes then apply throttle until the plane's tail raises off the ground at which point brakes are released and off it goes just about literally, like a helicopter.
