THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND STATED THAT DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL HE WAS MOVING THE FLAP CONTROL LEVER UP AND DOWN TO EFFECT A LIFT OFF. THE AIRPLANE NEVER LEFT THE RUNWAY AND RAN OFF THE END OF THE TEN FOOT EMBANKMENT, TRAVELED 140 FEET BEFORE STRIKING A BANK AND THEN NOSED OVER INTO A LAKE. THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND STATED THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION DISCERNALBLE. EXAMINATION OF THE WRECKAGE SHOWED THE FLAPS TO BE IN THE UP POSITION AND THE THROTTLE FRICTION HAD COME COMPLETELY UNSCREWED FROM ITS SHAFT AND WAS DANGLING ON THE THROTTLE SHAFT.
