Narrative:
Landing at dxr. Cleared to land runway 26 by controller. Runway 26 requires steep approach to clear obstacles. On very short final (50-75 ft AGL) controller said go around. Since my plane a mojave (PA31-P350) a twin had full flaps and 95 KTS I was committed to land. Told controller it was unsafe to go around and landed.
