Running runup?

Do you do 'running' run-ups?


I do NOT check prop and mags on my Mooney while running, because I want to
control my taxi speed w/o riding the brakes.

I've been known to do VOR checks and the like while taxiing, but unless your
checklist has items in a suitable order (hey, at 3000 hours, nearly all in the
same airplane, I still use a checklist) it's easier to overlook something if
you do a running run-up. Also, your head is inside the cockpit for those hmmm,
15 oor 20 seconds.

As for that guy who flys a seaplane? There's something even stanger about guys
who land on water than those of us who with our tail backwards (M20J).
