(-23) Pilot statement: the following is a chronological description of events that occurred on the morning ot February 11, 2001, involving my aircraft, a Waco YPF-7 NC29904. On my arrival at my hanger (41-14) at the Phoenix Deer valley iarport at approximately 0900, I proceeded to preflight and fuel my airplane for a flight to casa grande with a stop at stellar air park. ATIS information was obtained and I was cleared to taxi to 7 left. I joined the 7 left prarllel proceeding west. As I taxied I continually made "s" turns while taxiing to check the area in front of me. I observed a yellow veri-eez at the end taxiway of 7 left. As I continued to taxi, the veri-eez took off on runway 7 left. I continued to "s" turn while taxing, intending to pass through the 7 left perpendicular taxiway and 7 left parallel intersection, make a 180 and do my runup into the wind on the 7 left parallel taxiway. There is no runup pad for 7 left. As I approached the intersection I observed no other aircraft in front of me. At the point where I was about to enter the intersection I suddenly saw an aircraft right in front of me in the middle of the intersection.I immediately applied my brakes to a void contact with the other aircraft and in the process my aircraft nosed over. The prop struck the pavement and the engine stopped. The aircraft came to rest on it's nose. I turned all switched off and deplaned my aircraft.
