If you need to ask the question, you will probably not understand the answer.
Farmer 1The fact that you offer no answer says everything about you.

Foxmouth, thanks for the first reasoned answer. so in scenario 2 a little more speed might help avoid the stall, possibly.

The biggest danger to your lifespan is performing manouveres like the one you\'re suggesting. That is what kills people when they screw up an emergency landing.
Wouldnt hitting the wires be worse though? surely I would be better to fly over the wires (with my extra bit of airspeed at my disposal) and then land than to fly through them. Are you really suggesting it is better to set up a standard approach and fly it regardless of whats in the way?
