Which flight tests seemed risky?

[A2022]

For me, other than the first flight, the Vne and min fuel tests seemed to be the riskiest....

Vne was accomplished before and after painting. after painting I tested Vne +5%. there seemed to be a lot of wind noise. you want to make sure the canopy locks are in good condition before this test.

Min fuel was accomplished circling a remote airport at +2000 ft AGL. around and around until the engine stumbles. you want to fly as coordinated as possible in the turns.
