Default CD Waiver Sign-off... The Best Propeller Plane for the Test?

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering what/how the experienced CD turbine guys think when an 'unknown' applicant arrives to a location to take the waiver test with an average/every day prop plane.

Let's say an applicant arrives with a Hangar 9, P-51 ARF with retracts, but NO flap option... Would you conduct the test or turn the applicant away because of the plane's limited performance and features; In other words, would you suggest the applicant return with a higher performance EDF WITHOUT witnessing the applicant fly the prop plane?

... I'm just curious what the individual CD's standards are.
