Narrative:
After takeoff was unable to reduce to cruise power so proceeded to a nearby airport and landed with full power to runway where I pulled mixture to idle and did a power off landing.the cable mounting in the A36 is such that after 3300 hours on the bracket it allowed the cable to fall free from the mount. If the mount was reversed gravity would then hold the cable in place and not depend on a swedging tension to hold the cable sheath in place.
