Good point, Jeff!

<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>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 ) .</font></font></blockquote>
