I would not let anyone maiden flight my aircraft until the test pilot and another respected experienced hobbyistin the club airworthinessed my airframe. (RANGE CHECK!!!!)

I would make sure the plan was to then do the maiden trim and land. Bring to hanger for another airframe, control surfaceand powerplant inspection.

I would make sure the plan was then to fly and demonstrate to me the slowest controlled airspeed, 1/4, 1/2 and full throttle, glide, stallsand stall recovery.

I would make sure the plan was single rates set at a mild scale-like throw and demonstrate.

Only then would I buddy box it.
