What is your method for handling weight and balance when you are
piloting a small aircraft alone? Do you just trim to adjust for the
lateral imbalance, or do you put something on the other side of the
plane (ballast, luggage, etc.) to balance it out, or what?


What a very, very odd question. I don't believe I've ever been asked
such a question by a student before.

Don't worry... you still haven't, for very good reason.
