Let the prop strike at full power, you want a new firewall
forward. With a two blade prop, land on the mains, hold the
nose off and shut the engine down, it might even stop with
the blades horizontal.

But if you can get the mains down, you'll have a normal
landing, brakes and steering control. Very little damage to
the structure and probably zero injuries.

| Well, if the gear can keep the prop from striking, that's
a good thing.
