PA12 PLT; HIT THE WING TIP OF ANOTHER ACFT AS HE TRIED TO PULL OUT OF HIS PARKING SPACE AT PABE; AK.

Narrative

I BEGAN TAXIING MY PA-12 TO AN FBO TO COMPLETE WORK ON MY ANNUAL. ONE OF THE ADJUSTMENTS LEFT TO DO WAS TO ADJUST THE IDLE; WHICH WAS STILL TOO HIGH. WHEN I STARTED TAXIING; I HAD POOR CTL AND WAS UNABLE TO PREVENT TOUCHING WING TIPS WITH A PLANE PARKED ACROSS FROM MINE. DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL AND INCLUDED A 2 INCH DENT IN THE LEADING EDGE OF THE OTHER PLANE; A SCRATCH ON THE UNDERSIDE TO THE L WING TIP OF THE OTHER PLANE; AND A BROKEN L RED LENS ON MY POS LIGHT. I BELIEVE THE CAUSES OF THIS EVENT INCLUDED FIRST THE HIGH IDLE; WHICH I WAS ENRTE TO FIX; AND ALSO MY POOR; OLD-STYLE 4 INCH BRAKES; WHICH PROVED INEFFECTIVE; PLUS MY INEXPERIENCE AND/OR EXPERIENCE RECENTLY. I COULD HAVE QUICKLY PULLED THE MIXTURE AND KILLED THE ENG; BUT WAS STILL TRYING TO TURN THE PLANE; AND THOUGHT I NEEDED THE AIRFLOW PAST THE RUDDER TO HAVE ANY DIRECTIONAL CTL. ALSO; THE FACT THAT I WAS MOMENTARILY DISTR BY NOTICING I LEFT ON MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY TRUCK DIDN'T HELP. I RETURNED TO MY PARKING SPOT; INSPECTED THE DAMAGE; AND AT THE END OF THE DAY; LEFT A NOTE FOR THE OTHER PLT; CALLED HIM AT HOME; AND TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS. THIS EVENT IS NOT RPTABLE TO NTSB OR FAA; BECAUSE I HAD NOT INTENT TO FLY AND DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO DENTED AND SCRAPED SKIN.
