Mike you said
E.g. With a "shorter" wing on one side, is the added weight of the longer wing going to be more of an effect, or will the added lift of the larger wing-half have more influence?
You should already know the answer to that. If the bigger wings weight had a greater effect than its aerodynamics then what would be the point of wings period?
I told you that I moved my model wing across 1 inch and it had little effect. That was a complete answer to your quote above. Please take time to read and think before writing.
