Default Testing E-plane on the ground--good/bad?

How does one computer the flying time for an electric plane. I have a H9 Mini Pulse with an Eflite 480, Eflite 40ESC and TP4070 Battery. I was going to run it on the ground to test the plane, and make sure everything is ok, but people said do not do this. I am not sure why. It will get cooled somewhat by the prop, so I think it will not overheat IF I just taxi it around slow? –In other words can I just get used to the plane taxiing it around for a while on the ground?-comments??

Thanks stash
