Narrative:
As I taxied to runway 18R, I noticed 2 king airs in the runup area off taxiway I. Aircraft a was facing the windsock but aircraft B was resting in an unorthodox position. I expected aircraft B to turn toward the windsock, as I continued down taxiway I. Approaching the runup area I began my turn toward the windsock at what I thought was a safe distance from aircraft B. As I began to turn, aircraft B fired up its engines and my aircraft was blown over on its left wingtip and the propeller struck the ground. I immediately shut the aircraft down and called ground control for assistance. I simply never expected aircraft B to fire engines before turning.
