What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Partial statement below from the pilot.
Apex pulled the plane from hanger and I headed for the plane to go home. This is the part where looking back, I can see the first of a series of things where I and others could have prevented this whole event. As I walked to the plane, I noticed that apex had pulled the plane out of hanger but golf carts and a bonanza were positioned just off the right wing. In my replay of the accident, it would have been so easy to mention to the apex guys that my plane should be moved a little further out and away from the golf cart and bonanza. But I didnt as it was just a passing thought and I knew I could jockey the comanche hard left and be clear. I then proceeded to start my plane which started and died from lack of fuel so I added throttle and started the engine again again looking back, a couple of things happened all at once. First, I had grown used to the engine grinding for a while before catching but with the new starter, it started instantly and with the added throttle, started moving forward in an instant and hit the golf cart. My first instinct at the time was that my brakes didnt work but in review, even though I had my feet positioned, I just didnt have the time to brake as the cart was only a few feet from right wing. At that point, I killed the throttle and stopped the plane a few feet away from the bonanza. The golf cart roof brace had cut through my wing like butter hence the resulting damage.
Talked to joshua cawthra from the NTSB and he agree's this qualifies as an incident not an accident and they are not going to be performing any ivestigation.
