How much clearance is there between the wing tip and the ground on a typical GA low wing aircraft? 3-4 feet?

(Yes, I know....depends on how high you are flying.:ponder: I'm talking about sitting on the ground.)

Another way to ask the question: How much of a concern is a wing tip strike during a cross wind landing with crossed controls?

I have been thinking about Weltensegler crank on a flying wing, and would not want the wing tip to be any lower than necessary.
