Just a curious question here. Normally when I fly, my pilot logbook

What about taxing tests on a experimental? Does that count?

IIRC, you're supposed to log from the point "the aircraft first takes
movement for flight." If the purpose of the engine start is something
other than flight, you don't log it.
