Tail prop in use?

Question. Where and when you DO have a removable tail prop, is it, and the rear fuselage mounting point, strong enough to take a serious 'tail sit'? Asking because on Electras I was told the prop was a crude indicator only, and that it would puncture the fuselage if really used in earnest. Standing by to be enlightened!
