<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 )
