Narrative:
Because of a warning I received from ATC, when I requested flight following services on a direct flight from hanscom field, ma, to katama airpark in martha's vineyard, ma, I may have unintentionally violated the boston class B airspace. After landing at katama airpark, I was taxiing my aircraft to the tie-down area. I was advised on unicom frequency by the FBO to park my aircraft behind a parked bonanza. After stopping my plane behind the bonanza, I could find no tie-downs, so I elected to taxi the aircraft to another parking area. While executing a 90 degree left turn behind the bonanza, my left foot on the brake and rudder of the pivotal left main gear slipped and before I could jam on both brake pedals, the leading edge of my plane's right wing struck and knocked off the tail cone and bent the trim tab of the bonanza and at the same time causing a dent and hole approximately the size of a quarter in my right wing. The owner of the bonanza was notified of the incident. I believe fatigue was a factor contributing to the incident inasmuch as I had sleeping problems the previous evening. Also, I believe a wing walker would prevent a recurrence of this incident.

Narrative: BECAUSE OF A WARNING I RECEIVED FROM ATC, WHEN I REQUESTED FLT FOLLOWING SERVICES ON A DIRECT FLT FROM HANSCOM FIELD, MA, TO KATAMA AIRPARK IN MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MA, I MAY HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY VIOLATED THE BOSTON CLASS B AIRSPACE. AFTER LNDG AT KATAMA AIRPARK, I WAS TAXIING MY ACFT TO THE TIE-DOWN AREA. I WAS ADVISED ON UNICOM FREQ BY THE FBO TO PARK MY ACFT BEHIND A PARKED BONANZA. AFTER STOPPING MY PLANE BEHIND THE BONANZA, I COULD FIND NO TIE-DOWNS, SO I ELECTED TO TAXI THE ACFT TO ANOTHER PARKING AREA. WHILE EXECUTING A 90 DEG L TURN BEHIND THE BONANZA, MY L FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND RUDDER OF THE PIVOTAL L MAIN GEAR SLIPPED AND BEFORE I COULD JAM ON BOTH BRAKE PEDALS, THE LEADING EDGE OF MY PLANE'S R WING STRUCK AND KNOCKED OFF THE TAIL CONE AND BENT THE TRIM TAB OF THE BONANZA AND AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING A DENT AND HOLE APPROX THE SIZE OF A QUARTER IN MY R WING. THE OWNER OF THE BONANZA WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. I BELIEVE FATIGUE WAS A FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE INCIDENT INASMUCH AS I HAD SLEEPING PROBS THE PREVIOUS EVENING. ALSO, I BELIEVE A WING WALKER WOULD PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF THIS INCIDENT.
