Yes I missed the S off examiner, you sure it needs 2 ?

Unless the examiner is a Chief Examiner, yes.

From the BMFA Handbook section on Fixed Wing B tests;

"The examination may be carried out by:
(a) Two Registered Examiners (the ‘lead’ must be a Fixed Wing Examiner).
(b) A Fixed Wing Chief Examiner "

For what it's worth, I used a Wot4 with Irvine 53 for my B. I flew a totalof 80 flights and generally flew 2 B schedules per flight.

Safety, accuracy and full conrol as well as a thorough knowledge of the BMFA Handbook are what are the pre-requisites for a successful outcome.

Provided the aircraft you use can bunt and spin you can use any airframe that weighs more than 1Kg. However, flying a lightweight aircraft accurately on a windy day is a darn sight more difficult than something like an IC Wot4 type.

As has been said above, it's the pilot being tested not the aircraft.
