Incident Details

April 18, 2011 Location of the incident: , Type of Incident:

While flying over a small coastal town of Sitiawan I realized something was unusual the way the throttle behave. The sticky feeling made me decided to land. Landed and checked the throttle cable. Landed and fixed the throttle cable without realizing I pulled the cable a bit too much. It is almost half throttle. As a short cut I cranked the machine by turning the prop. instantly the machine roared and i tried to get the off switch but something struck me and I ran away to get myself clear of the run away machine. the next thing I saw my left thigh was bleeding. A fellow pilot rushed me to the hospital and was discharged the next day with 15 stitches.
