Narrative:
In spite of training and knowledge, this was a classic hand propeller runaway without a properly trained pilot at the controls. Engine flooded. Engine started. Plane jumped chocks and ran into hangar. No injuries except to ego and pocketbook. Could have been more serious. Another stupid 'it won't happen to me' scenario.
