Analysis
While in the traffic pattern, the plt retarded the throttle to idle & established a glide speed. When he re-advanced the throttle, there was no response from the eng. The plt said he 'headed straight for the overrun to runway 4, but could not make it that FAR.' While lndg, the acft struck several small trees & was substantially damaged. An exam of the acft revealed the throttle housing had slipped in its clamping device. The home built acft had a total flt time of only 11 hrs.
