Cessna 150 pilots might want to practice power-off 180's a few thousand feet up and observe altitude loss before taking McNair's advice upon losing power at 300-400' agl. (And note that you actually need to turn thru more than 180 deg to get back to runway.) Dan Kahn Bell Communications Research Murray Hill, NJ
