Aircraft on the NTSB record: Morton CHRISTAVIA MARK I · serial 2

The pilot/builder's failure to correct the center of gravity computations after a weight increase. A contributing factor was the pilot/builder's exceeding the forward CG limit in fuel weight, of which both conditions resulted in a degradation of aircraft control.
