Off hand I'd suggest pushing the yoke forward to
use decent to prevent stall, because the stall can
happen real fast in that attitude, so be prepared.

Glide back to the runway or have knowledge of a
safe alternative and use it.

Wow, Ken, even *I* know this is idiotic.

My thoughts a Given no good alternative aside
from the runway, know the x-wind at T-O, do max
ascent into the wind as is normal, then if the engine
quit's (do radio) do a descending gentle 20 into the
x-wind, and come back and set the ship down.
I think the key is max ascent rate, that's insurance.

Ken, the simple geometries don't work. Regardless of aircraft
characteristics. Are you willing to bet your life on these false
assumptions?

Not true. There are strong rumours that the personality known as
Anthony A....i died as a results of playing it too much in *Paris.
His

alter ego, Mxmaniac was injured by trying to simulate a "sexy
manouver". It turned out that a joy stick did not live up to his
expectations.

Seeing as how it;s Anthony, he prolly has a 16 ton weight suspended
over his chair in case he crashes.

Labelled ACME of course. LOL

Naturellement.
