Narrative:
While taxiing to a parking spot during a fly-in breakfast, I hit a parked aircraft (cessna 150) with my aircraft's propeller. I was taxiing very slowly under guidance of a teenager and watching him intently. I did not see the parked aircraft to my right because it was in my blind spot -- right front. In the future, I know that I cannot rely on inexperienced ground help and must exercise diligence in looking out the right side. This was a minor taxi accident -- no injuries to persons. Parked aircraft not occupied and no fuselage damage to my aircraft.
