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?
hey stupid.
I'll give you a serious answer to your question.
the reason why no real pilot of a real aircraft has ever to worry
about this contrived situation in real life is an aerodynamic trick
called dihedral. it automatically compensates.
ok stupid. down to the local library. borrow all the books you can on
aircraft, aerodynamics and mechanical engineering. read them!
with years of superhuman effort you might just pass as intelligent.
