The Mooney has quite a marked dihedral. To scrape a wingtip you'd have more bank angle than the rudder could handle. I know most of them are only demonstrated to 11kts, but the aircraft can cope with much more than that.
Wing down. You'd have to be seriously pushing the aircraft's limits, (not the pilot's), to scrape a wingtip.
