AFTER THE PILOT OF N9LB WAS TURNED OUT FROM THE DOCK, HE STARTED HIS ENGINE AND BEGAN TO TAXI AWAY. THE PILOT HAD HIS HEAD DOWN WHILE TAXIING AND FAILED TO OBSERVE ANOTHER AIRCRAFT THAT WAS FLOATING NEARBY WITH THE ENGINE OFF WAITING FOR AN OPEN POSITION ON THE SAME DOCK. N9LB STRUCK N5595M WHICH RESULTED IN MINOR DAMAGE TO BOTH AIRCRAFT. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.
