The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from a hangar during taxi for departure.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that he was taxiing the airplane parallel to the airport hangars.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and spar carry through. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane that would have prevented normal flight operations.
