Narrative:

I was taxiing a cessna 182 toward the approach end of runway 34 at ttn when I collided with another aircraft. The other aircraft was standing to the side of the taxiway, most likely running up. A thin film of moisture from the evenings dew covered my aircraft's windshield. As I taxied, the sun was directly in front of me and low on the horizon. I basically followed the yellow line until I departed left to position for my own runup. It was not until my propeller struck the right aileron of the parked 150 that I realize that there was an aircraft parked where I had intended to run up. Moral of the story, clear windshield before taxiing. Take taxiing as seriously as flying. The C-150 sustained damage to its flight aileron and wing, my 182 sustained virtually no damage. Its propeller was checked and dressed by maintenance on field. There were no injuries. Report was filed with united states department of transportation and FAA inspectors took information and a statement.

Narrative: I WAS TAXIING A CESSNA 182 TOWARD THE APCH END OF RWY 34 AT TTN WHEN I COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER ACFT. THE OTHER ACFT WAS STANDING TO THE SIDE OF THE TXWY, MOST LIKELY RUNNING UP. A THIN FILM OF MOISTURE FROM THE EVENINGS DEW COVERED MY ACFT'S WINDSHIELD. AS I TAXIED, THE SUN WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND LOW ON THE HORIZON. I BASICALLY FOLLOWED THE YELLOW LINE UNTIL I DEPARTED L TO POS FOR MY OWN RUNUP. IT WAS NOT UNTIL MY PROP STRUCK THE R AILERON OF THE PARKED 150 THAT I REALIZE THAT THERE WAS AN ACFT PARKED WHERE I HAD INTENDED TO RUN UP. MORAL OF THE STORY, CLR WINDSHIELD BEFORE TAXIING. TAKE TAXIING AS SERIOUSLY AS FLYING. THE C-150 SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO ITS FLT AILERON AND WING, MY 182 SUSTAINED VIRTUALLY NO DAMAGE. ITS PROP WAS CHKED AND DRESSED BY MAINT ON FIELD. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. RPT WAS FILED WITH UNITED STATES DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION AND FAA INSPECTORS TOOK INFO AND A STATEMENT.
