I flew out to a private strip in Crystalaire, CA with a buddy to do some glider flying. As we were getting ready to leave, I pre-flighted and untied the airplane. The tow plane was being gassed in the grass off to the the side of the "runway area" so I walked over to ask if it was OK if we took off. A rogue gust of wind slowly started the Cub rolling towards a hangar. Didn't run fast enough and it hit the elevator.

Airplanes 101 - never walk away from the airplane untied.
