One thing I have practised is the turn back after T/0 with an engine failure, do it at various heights until you are confident of the height needed I concur with all said, but I have found a steep turn back with extra speed is best, initially the ground looks close but once the turn is complete you can trade A/S for distance
I believe most ab initios forget the stalling speed goes up dramatically with a steep turn, hence they stall.
