SVA FAIL
Lots of minor things, nothing major.
No self centring, but i think i can sort that.
Speedo was ok at low speeds but well out at higher speeds ... piece of crap

Awww Ben
Well at least it was nothing major, and easy fixes.....when's the re-test?
What did he have to say about the airfilter?..or did you 'mod' before the test?
Chin up! from what you have said, sounds like a 'good' fail to me!

Oh and he was very picky. Taking 4 hours to do test.
3/4 hour of that was under the car on the ramp 
He's expecting some top supervisor round at some point this month so NOTHING was ignored
I just meshed over the carb, took the filter off completely

I had that with mine......but mine was training someone and it was his 'test' piece, so in effect mine was done twice, with the examiner
spending lots of time with the 'trainee' explaining the 'whys and wherefores' of everything!
The good thing is, that you can be assured that with a thorough test like that, the build is a good'un!

Hi Ben
Sorry to here you had a fail...
Sounds like it's all fixable though.
Now you know what needs doing you should fly through next time.
Keep us up to date on the retest.
