The aircraft started on first attempt and was idling faster than expected and turned approximately 180 and moved under power towards the hanger . It hit the hanger on the right wing first then left wing and finally the prop before privacy data omitted was able to reach in, reduce the throttle and do an engine shutdown. No occupants were inside the aircraft. No injuries.
