The practice of unofficial first flights is still alive and well.

I work for a company that builds things to go into survey aircraft. Almost all of these aircraft are twin engined. If you are cuising around at low speed and low altitude, you don't want a failure of your single engine.
Check out the Vulcanair, which is twin engined, and can come with a glazed nose.
