C-SAR, looking at the impact mark it looks fairly shallow. So the question is, was the first impact from the fuselage underside (where it starts to taper towards the tail) or from the actual tailcone?
I base my speculation on the presence of power line wrapped around the end cone. Also, look at the cut in the cactus to the right. They most probably were cut by the right stabilizer. Calculating the hight of the cut we might establish the fuselage position at time of cut
