Well done for not coming last!
And good thinking for over-rotating by 180 degrees. If the engine hadn't started you'd have been nicely set up on a downwind leg to land. They ought to give you a few points at least!
Regarding the fishtailing, perhaps the good burghers of Pprune should have said "try the starter first, and if that doesn't work, try fishtailing"!
Do you have any idea why the engine stopped?
