Thumbs up

To all of you who have given answers, a big thank you, I have asked the Cfi where I SFH from to show me the actuall engine failure upon take of( ie just as 30/40 knts has been achieved) but they say to me they cannot show me for they are not allowed to practice that on their field, well ok, I can live with that, but their answer to several further Q's was, that its very similar to any Auto from height, only you have to more alert and quicker!, well you chaps have given me a lot, lot more, in your answers and suggestion, I see the problems with practising a low height( just airborne) possibly practising this particular thing would bend a lot of metalwork, so compared with actuall engine failures this is why the Cfi's won't allow it to be tried, could my assumption be right?
As a part of my monthly flying I practice EOL's and Auto's at least twice during every month,so I am pretty confident that I could cope, but have never done a very low alt one! hence that part of the question.
