Narrative:

While taxiing out to practice my airshow routine, my radio quit. Since it is an uncontrolled airport, I elected to continue. After landing, I was told I 'cut off' an instructor/student in a cherokee who had to go around. I never saw the other airplane, though I did scan the approach airspace. Perhaps he was high, or perhaps I was distracted trying to jiggle the radio into working. In any event, I never saw him, before, during, or after takeoff. This incident illustrates to me the importance of the unicom, even when radio contact is not required.
