Narrative:

After becoming frustrated and impatient from an engine not starting for 30 minutes or so I accidentally left the throttle on full while hand-propping a J3-cub while solo. The airplane was chocked; however; it jumped over the chocks upon starting up. I was able to make it to the cockpit to bring the throttle to idle and turn the switch off; however; the plane had moved approximately 50 feet from its original position by the time I had stopped it. There was no damage to the airplane; myself; or anybody on the ramp.
