Narrative:

Winds were from 250 degrees at 8 KTS. I was landing on the runway 27. The weather was clear with unlimited visibility. I was the pilot and sitting in the back seat. The passenger was in the front seat. I touched down on the tail wheel at 55 miles per hour; then bounced on the main gear; and lost directional control to left. [This] resulted in a ground loop; and the right wing tip struck the runway surface. We departed the runway onto the grass south of runway 27. I taxied back onto runway and to the hangar. No injuries. I did not touchdown tail and main at the same time; and then over-corrected with rudder. I should have gone around. There was minimal damage to the ceconite fabric on the right wing tip. When I contacted the tower for taxi clearance I informed them of no injuries. I also called the tower on the land-line after incident per their request and I declined to make report as the damage was minimal. The tower called back in 30 minutes to verify that no report would be filed. I will get additional dual instruction with emphasis on landings from the back seat.
