Here are the videos...
....from Youtube. The resolution ain't the best but you can see if you look carefully, that I had to aggressively slip the airplane with full flaps to get down in the amount of remaining runway. They're titled turnback 250, turnback 400 and so on for the altitudes I pulled the power off at.

You couldn't see much at the 800 foot video, so I only uploaded these three. I'm betting that at the 800 AGL point that I could probably do at least a 360 AND a 270 since I would have nearly run off the far end with the 5 knot tailwind I had.
I hope that none of you guys takes these numbers and altitudes seriously if you have a CS prop or a different RV.
I used a pretty aggressive bank angle simultaneously dropping the nose to avoid an accelerated stall down low.....in fact the idea of using a steep bank angle produced the result of the nose dropping, which is what I wanted.
