OK, so before we get hundreds of guys thinking that you HAVE to do full-power accelerations down the runway before first flight to break in your pads….you don’t. I’m glad this worked for you, but I find that the brake pads will do just fine with a couple of accelerations to 20 mph and some stops on the taxiway. Or frankly, nothing at all - they’ll break in on your first landing.
High Speed taxi testing (under whatever guise) has proven time and time again to be a great way to create a crisis that folks don’t need.

Spoken very wisely! Only took 7 seconds to liftoff on my first flight.
