I've also had the displeasure of flying an aerodynamicly unstable plane once because I made a misstake with the ballast.
It was an Astir, I strapped like 25 kg of ballast to the seat because I'm way too light for this plane.
Well, idiot teenager me strapped the weight the the backrest, wich is almost perfectly in the center of gravity, so I ended up some 25 kg tail-heavy on my first flight with the plane.
Couldn't hold speed at all, was either getting increasingly faster or slower and twitchy as hell.
Managed to land it somehow, even though this plane has some realy significant grounf effect.
