Narrative:

While taxiing in the parking area of the FBO, I became distraction by something in the cockpit. This caused me to deviate from the centerline and my aircraft struck a parked aircraft. The damage was limited to scratches on the cowling of the parked aircraft and wingtip damage to my aircraft.
