Engine Failure on takeoff: -8A with Aerosport 180 HP IO-360.
ROE: 90 KIAS, flaps up, power to idle, count 5 seconds, then initiate 180 degree turn. Minimum airspeed 70 KIAS.
Procedure: 60-90 degrees angle of bank, pull hard, reduce AOB and lower nose to maintain airspeed.
Results: 200 - 250 ft. altitude loss.
Caveat: single runway turn will require more than 180 degrees, but 180 seemed like a good data point.
