Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot of the airplane reported that, following a preflight inspection, he advanced the throttle to full to prime the engine and neglected to retard the throttle prior to engine start. Subsequently, the engine started with a full throttle power setting and began to taxi forward. While attempting to apply brakes and retard the throttle to idle, the airplane veered left and impacted a hangar. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
