Not to be a pickle-puss or a wet blanket, but regarding taxi testing with a passenger onboard: when Paul Martin was taxi-testing his KR2 (on a backwoods strip) he took me down the runway on one of his runs. We got photos, which were posted on my website. I posted a little report on Paul's testing at the time and got upbraided for violating safety guidelines as well as the FARs.
The FARs strictly prohibit carrying passengers during the testing phase of certification of an experimental aircraft, unless the person is a required crewmember. The reasons for this are obvious. So while it's fun to do this, it's a violation.
