A Waco UPF7, N32186, collided with a Cessna 195, N4301V, while taxing for takeoff at the Jean, Nevada, airport. The Cessna 195 was on a taxiway holding short of runway 2L waiting for departure and the Waco UPF7 was taxing to runway 2L for departure at the time of the collision. The airplanes were operated by their respective owners under 14 CFR Part 91 for local area personal flights. The Waco UPF7 sustained minor damage to its propeller. The Cessna 195 sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot in the Waco UPF7, and, the pilot and the three passengers in the Cessna 195, were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plans were filed for either operation
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain an adequate visual lookout while taxiing for departure. Factors in the accident were: the narrow nature of the taxiway and the pilot's subsequent inability to S-turn for better forward visibility, and, the pilot allowing himself to become distracted with minor cockpit duties while moving on the ground.
