Hell, look at how the LG oleos and tires are totally compressed.  I but the prop would hit the ground if the tail came up :)

On a more serious note, how about the C46 as a cheap perk alternative to the C47?  It would be able to carry several loads each of troops or supplies, or some combination of both simultaneously.
