Narrative:

I approached and successfully set down the main landing gear during a 2-point landing. As the plane slowed and the tail came down a series of corrections were made using rudder/brake input in an attempt to maintain directional control down the runway. These corrections became over-corrections leading to a 'ground loop'. During the course of the ground loop the plane's lower left wing tip made contact with the runway. No people were injured and no airport property was damaged.these events arose from a series of over corrections made during landing. Contributing factors included the pilot's limited time in the plane and large difference from the previous types of planes flown. Corrective actions for the future would include further training with a qualified instructor to gain the required skills and confidence to land this type of aircraft.

Title: GA pilot reported a ground loop during landing due to rudder over control; which resulted in wing tip contact with the runway. Pilot inexperience with the aircraft was reportedly a major factor.
