Colin,

I am saddened that it was  bureaucratic burden
that has caused the taxi decision on your aircraft.

Perhaps I could suggest that there may be places 
on the airport not precisely under HMS's watchful
eye, where some speeds may be obtained 
before formally venturing on a runway.

I did not have any trouble keeping my bird on
the ground and an isolated taxi way may be 
just the ticket to at least declare to a scolding 
tower that the throttle got a bit sticky for just a 
moment or two, may I taxi back to my hangar now?

Here is wishing best speed on your repair.

Oh,  yes I am still not flying, I have discovered that
you can strip the wing nut that is sealed into the
spar by cross threading.  This requires a 1.25
whole saw and a raft of patience to replace the
plate.  So do be careful that the outer and inner
spars are well matched together before cranking
on the wing bolt.  I did patch up the hole with
the plug, flox and 6 additional bid.  This seem to
be the middle of all the advice from leave it, to
18" of glass all around.

Hope to be flying soon,

Gerard  N333EX
