Do you throttle up to check things out before flying like on a piston powered plane? Anybody else have any input on this?

Dave:
At jet rallies, it is generally frowned upon to run up your turbine in the pits / start up area for safety reasons. Also, last year there was some emphasis on blowing debris from full throttle run-ups causing debris to get sucked back into intakes after circling around from the blast protectors in the start-up areas.
Most modern turbine ECU's do not need a full throttle run-up on the ground .....

Nick,
Thanks for the feedback. I've added aluminum tape over the melted areas. I'll keep the WOT running for the sky. My son was really itching to see it run! No blame on him mind you.
Was hoping to hear from Jim this past week. The weather looks real crappy next weekend. Maybe a trip to North Carolina may be in order! Thanks for your help!
