## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

WHEN TAXIING TO THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT OBSERVED TWO OTHER AIRCRAFT IN THE RUNNUP AREA.  WHEN THEY LEFT, HE BEGAN SCANNING HIS GAUGES FOR HIS TAKEOFF CHECK, MEANWILE A CESSNA 152 TAXIIED AROUND A CORNER IN FRONT OF HIM AND BEGAN THEIR RUNNUP.  THE PILOT OF 23UT FAILED TO SEE THE CE-152 DUE TO THE CONVENTIONAL GEAR CONFIGURATION OF HIS STARDUSTER BIPLANE.  THE PILOTS BROTHER-IN-LAW/PASSENGER STARTED WAVING HIS HANDS TO HAVE THEIR AIRCRAFT STOPPED.  THE PILOT STOPPED THEIR AIRPLANE, BUT NOT UNTIL THEIR PROPELLER HAD STRUCK THE RIGHT WING TIP OF THE CE-152 CAUSING DAMAGE TO ABOUT TWO RIBS AND THE END OF THE WING SPAR.  NO INJURIES IN EITHER AIRCRAFT.
