Narrative:
My aircraft sustained a wingtip strike while being marshalled and parked at an airport fly-in. After exchanging information, as owner and PIC, I carefully inspected the aircraft and found it to be airworthy. I flew the aircraft the short distance home at a considerably reduced airspeed with no problem at all.
