<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Looking at the undesirable forces that
would be generated by the assymetric distribution of weight to achieve lateral
balance - hard yaw or tight corners would produce no effect because all
components would be subject to the same acceleration. There would be an effect
during roll, however, because the masses are subjected to different rates of
acceleration (polar ) . Our planes damp and reach steady state roll rapidly .
These unwanted roll forces would cause a change in pitch ( same as when one
aileron has more throw ) during their short life . The magnitude of the pitch
change would be hard to quantify ( by me )
