Narrative:
While conducting runup, my left foot slipped off the left brake. Even though I pulled power back to idle, aircraft still turned right 110 degrees. I was unable to dislodge left foot from slipped position underneath front seat, and succeeded only in getting left sneaker off. There was an adjacent aircraft. Although I didn't feel any collision, I shut down, and inspected both aircraft for damage. I noticed none to my aircraft, but minor damage to other aircraft. Although I'm conscientious about keeping my shoes dry and clean, I feel that installation of non-skid pads would have prevented this incident on rudder pedals.

Title: OTHER ACFT DAMAGED DURING RUNUP AND LOSS OF ACFT CTL BY RPTR'S BIPLANE.
Narrative: WHILE CONDUCTING RUNUP, MY L FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE L BRAKE. EVEN THOUGH I PULLED PWR BACK TO IDLE, ACFT STILL TURNED R 110 DEGS. I WAS UNABLE TO DISLODGE L FOOT FROM SLIPPED POS UNDERNEATH FRONT SEAT, AND SUCCEEDED ONLY IN GETTING L SNEAKER OFF. THERE WAS AN ADJACENT ACFT. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T FEEL ANY COLLISION, I SHUT DOWN, AND INSPECTED BOTH ACFT FOR DAMAGE. I NOTICED NONE TO MY ACFT, BUT MINOR DAMAGE TO OTHER ACFT. ALTHOUGH I'M CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT KEEPING MY SHOES DRY AND CLEAN, I FEEL THAT INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS INCIDENT ON RUDDER PEDALS.
