Neil's fuel tanks were capable of holding 110 gal. the rear tank bulkhead
was the foward face of the main box spar (unlike the C spar )now used. The
main wing cord was also narrower than the ( Standard Velocity ) by at least
2 in. He was passing 10000 ft. when he encountered the turbulance and went
inverted.

As I recall, this was at altitude.  I also seem to recall that this plane
had strake tanks that extended farther aft than the plans, so nose-up gave
further aft CG.  I don't have any documentation on this, though.
