Instability is a bit different from an unequal distribution of lift, though. The lift is the same, until something disturbs it, be it a wind gust or the copilot losing control of his bowels. Once disturbed, the static stability tries to restore it to its original position, but the dynamic instability makes it overshoot, and away you go.
