I read in one of the EAA books a recommendation to tie the plane down and do full power tests before first flight. I did this once when troubleshooting something else. Watch temps - the test will last long enough for a turn around the pattern. I didn't trust the wing tie down points and tied to the main gear.

That also has some uncertainty. """
