I ain't too keen on test flying any more.

A friend of mine does the first flight after annual on his Arrow
in full nomex with a helmet. He is also known for being militant
about safety (CFII, FAA Safety Counselor, he's in CAP and gets in

I don't know if I'd take to the extremes he does, but statistically,
the first flight after annual or maintenance is a high risk flight.
