WHILE HAND PROPPING TO START, THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL POWER. THE PILOT GAINED ACCESS TO THE CONTROLS AS THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO MOVE AGAINST THE LOCKED BRAKES. HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE PLANE BEFORE IT HIT A BEECH 58P, N3664G. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE HAD INADVERTENTLY LEFT THE THROTTLE OPEN WHILE HE WAS CLEARING THE ENGINE DURING THE START. ALSO, HE FORGOT TO PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REDUCE THE POWER AFTER THE ENGINE HAD STARTED. MOST OF HIS FLYING TIME HAD BEEN IN AIRCRAFT THAT HAD A DIFFERENT TYPE OF THROTTLE.
