You are talking about the test anytime the leading edges are removed?
I've done quite a few on both 800's and 700's and 1A's.
Follow the maintenance manual to the letter. Do NOT do like Ratheon and lead up to this test with A/P on and check that it pops off when stick shaker activates.
The successfull parameters of this test are fairly vague, If you end up right side up it seems they consider it OK.
Make sure there is no ice on the leading edge (avoid clouds, day,VFR) allow no one in the back, and it wouldn't hurt to make sure the toilet is empty.
After all these cautions, MOST of these were pretty benign.
We only had one 700 that would roll 90 degrees + to the right every time,
got your full attention the first time, then you knew what to expect.
