Sadly still waiting on parts, so no flying to Temora this weekend, as for the EFATO, i havnt tried it in the Savvy yet, but i tend to stick to the rule of straight ahead, i would rather be in control and wings level. or turn back if on crosswind depending on winds etc. but not try to make the runway, the airport grounds in general are smooth enough.

The Savannah will get off the runway in 50 mtrs if trying, so that leaves a LOT of runway ahead, and a Max angle of climb will see me at circuit height about 2/3 down the length of Wollongongs 16/34. so, with that in mind, engine quit at or below, 500, well, straight ahead and use the remaining runway. as for turning back, well, might have to get the cameras out and try it. but from 1000ft, i would complete a tight circuit.

now, jus hope those bushes arrive..
