The main consideration for the move was the vibration cause unwanted noise. And it is cheaper because you don't have to rotate the planes to vertical to go through the ice.
Actaully contol was very good with sail planes, the location was right and at high speeds you locked them and used only the stern palnes because of the area of the sail planes. Sail planes really provided dive and lift.
