Interesting experiments.......I might go and try some of my own.
I read a very good article once about EFATO. It was written by some really experienced aerobatic pilot (I forget where I read it, US AOPA I think), and the best bit of advice he gave was "push until the ground fills a two thirds of your windscreen". This is very good advice, as we had an EFATO recently from our airfield (below 500') and as is common the aeroplane stalled. Luckily for the pilot he was not that high but he still managed to end up mushing down and cartwheeling along the airfield as the wing dropped and "landed" first, and he was trapped underneath in a fuel loaded smashed up aeroplane. Hurt but not too seriously but covered from head to toe in avgas.
My buddy was there and sent me some pics, very scary stuff. Luckily all his holes didn't line up that day.....a bit higher, a bit faster, and I expect there would have been a different result.
Whatever you do, keep flying
