Let's not forget about Burt Rutan's Boomerang... It was an Asymetrical
twin.

The Germans in WWII also had a single-engined weirdo airplane
that had an offset fuselage. However, all such asymmetrical designs
only appeared asymmetrical; the lift was distributed so that the the
thing was balanced properly. You cannot chop a chunk of wing off any
airplane and expect it to fly normally. How much would we have to knock
off a 210's wing before it would be noticeably wing-heavy?

Apparently at least 5'7".
