Narrative:

While on short final to runway 27 at moontown airport; 3m5; an experimental RV7 taxied across the runway causing me to initiate a go around to avoid a collision. I was flying an aeronca 7AC. While on final I had observed the RV7 taxiing parallel to runway 27. As I crossed the threshold to runway 27 and entered my flare for landing; the RV7 pilot turned and taxied across runway 27. He did not look or hesitate. The RV7 did not stop before crossing runway 27 or make any attempt to clear the area. By applying full power I was able to avoid a collision and clear him by an estimated 25 ft.
