Yep. Nicely done.

So essentially you confirmed the Rogers (?) paper that the lowest loss of altitude, assuming certain stability conditions, is achieved by making a 45-degree banked turn at the edge of the stall. Good.

GtE, I'm still interested in your stab at doing a paper when you remove those stability conditions, and analyze a proper EFATO situation. Mark1234 found out that the best results in that situation are achieved by initially setting a 60 degree bank, pulling to the stall, and reducing the bank angle as you fly the turn and the nose drops.
