Hmmm, I have the answer to my original question, thanks, just a few comments if I may, I never intended to test fly my aircraft, I had spent many years building it and considered myself to be not current enough to do a test flight. The aircraft, by the way was an RV7, this aircraft has now flown 5 days after I had to sell it. I think that most homebuilts are going to perform in a similar manner and if you were current and had done a reasonable amount of flying while building I would see no great drama. The length of the first flight in my opinion is waaaay to short at 10 minutes unless something unexpected shows up, which of course it shouldn't, after all it has just had its first annual. My aircraft flew for just over half an hour and a power off and power on stall was accomplished. I would have thought this was a minimum after all you would really like to have that information when coming in to land.
