And I forgot that Hipat training when an engine failure occurs is to get into position alpha then beta and then overhead 360 with everything down flaps high pitch prop, gear down and STEEP 90 degree turn to the numbers keeping the appropriate speed (120 kts in IV-P and EVO, 90 knots in a T -6) so when your engine fails and you have the airport in sight with adequate altitude what are you going to do? Avoid steep turns ? I can see the crash short of the threshold or at the end of the runway, maybe pete Zacagnino can give you some tips on the above Join lobo and get hipat training.

I have made the decision prior to purchasing to avoid stalls
altogether in my 360. After reading the stall and stall spin accident
information, I just don't think it's worth the risk. On take-off, I stay
in ground effect for the half second it takes to make it into the green after
wheels up; on landing, I approach well above stall for my flap configuration,
and let the speed bleed off only a few feet above the threshold. During
normal flight, I don't even get near a typical slow flight speed. Too many
variables in a home built airplane with no precise envelope, a header tank
that is PROBABLY where I think it is, but could be off by 30 or 40 pounds if the
gauge is stuck; possible extra wait in the tail area (water retention after
heavy rain).
Colyn, As I said, AVOID STEEP
TURNS IN THE PATTERN. If you are flying low under the hood, I hope you
have a well qualified safety pilot
