Let's put it this way………if you have an accident during this taxi time, both your insurance and the FAA will say you were "flying". I'd log it and note it in the comment section.

Sorry, this is not LSA specific, but I hope I'll get some knowledgeable answers.
I hold a private pilot certificate, and will be flying a Kitfox experimental under LSA rules.
Both the Kitfox and I are being put back into service after a long hiatus. I have a current BFR and tailwheel endorsement.
The airplane had its annual inspection 10 days ago, and I have been taking lessons in Cubs, Champs and a Kitfox-like Aerotek.
I decided I will not try to fly it until I have several hours of taxi testing, to the point that I feel comfortable "driving" it on the ground.
My question is, can/should I log this taxi hours as PIC time? On one hand, this is not flying. On the other, I am gaining proficiency in the ground handling of an aircraft that has a reputation for being very sensitive to control inputs.
Thanks,
Roberto.
