I failed mine, too, and I never even got to fly. I hadn't studied enough, and the examiner failed me on the oral portion. It sucks, and it's a horrible feeling. But the next time I took the exam, I was the best student that examiner had ever had on the oral. And in the end, it probably did make me a better, much more knowledgeable, pilot. And after I failed, a lot of the instructors there at my school started telling me their stories of failed check rides. So cheer up - lots of people don't pass the first time around.

Universal rule or law, so do not let it bother you. My check ride was from Dr. Don Hull (Hull field Sugarland, Tx) I was very nervous, there were three of us and we took our Oral together at the end of the Oral he pink slipped one of us. (Ouch!) He took the other one for his check ride and pink slipped him. (Strike two!) When we went up the newly installed radio would not work, He wanted to land me at the big international airport (horrors, I just barely knew how to turn it on, much less how to get in and out of a major airport. ) He felt sorry for me and gave me my license anyway. I really did not need the engine on the way home, I could have levitated me and the airplane home. P.S. the radio worked just fine all the way back home.

It was converted to a tail dragger with the main gear turned around backwards, single seat aligned with the centerline and used a control stick if I recall.. It was from a ways back and I heard in a later discussion that it had crashed during an airshow and was destroyed.. Anybody else remember this one??
