Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane collided with a hangar while taxiing from landing to parking. The pilot was making a right-hand turn off the taxiway when his left wing came into contact with a hangar. The airplane veered left, and the propeller struck the outside wall of the structure. The collision resulted in damage to the hangar, propeller, and extensive damage to the left wing. The pilot felt that an excessive taxi speed and his misjudgment of the right-hand turn led to the accident. He stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.
