Yes, I knew the problem was an attempted RTLS following engine out.  I
was taught that if the engine failed below 4000AGL on climbout, I had to
pick my spot from what was visible through the windscreen -- the plane
was too heavy, too low and had no energy for a turn back to the runway.

Hi Keith,
what were you flying, F4s? Maybe you mean 400 ft agl  :)
That is a good thumb rule about the windscreen.
I enjoy your contributions,
BR, Dave McC
