Pick up your AFH PA, and you will see that the context is definitely an engine failure shortly after take off on the departure leg. You will see it clearly, there are three big paragraphs concerning the turn back ! But oh well. I promise I will not kill myself doing these things

sapperkenno, I guess it's the weight and short stubby wings which makes it hard to turn back in that airplane.. I was at least unable to do it, it sinks way too fast. Perhaps it would be possible from like 800-1000 feet with a strong headwind on departure, but who knows. I would not risk turning back in that one, that is for sure!
