Why not? Can you explain what your misgivings were and what happened in the
end?

Jos,
Please read my article on test flying. Honestly mate, its a really, really
bad idea to test fly your own aircraft, try and avoid it if at all possible.
I spent months trying to find someone to test fly mine and I only did it
myself as a last resort. To this day I still would have preferred not to.

Paul is right, don't do any serious taxi testing, unless you still have
a couple of feet of ice on your lake. I guess it's melted by now.
Certainly not on tarmac.
Are you going to make Ivan an offer? (btw I don't think he monitors this
list.) Unless you have a convenient into wind grass runway I don't
recommend you do your own first flight. Otherwise wait till the lake
freezes again and do it on snow.
