I am pleased to say that, after giving myself a hard time for not being able to perform the 180 power out, I finally did a good job getting her down. After the engine "quit" the first thing I did was establish best glide and then at the same time turn toward the runway. I was a little high, so I dumped the flaps and was able touch down. What a great feeling. Now I gotta master those lazy eights.
