Well, that just leads me to way more questions for the sages of the list:

         How much wing area do I need to lift my Westie off the ground?

         Do I need a bigger wing on the left, to provide extra lift for the
camper equipment (and the driver)?"

Ah-HA!  In the early 1940's the Italians (Macchi 202 and 205 fighter planes
to be specific) came up with an ingenious way of dealing with the problems
of torque steer in their fighter planes. One wing was half a foot longer
than the other, so the added lift of the longer wing offset the engine
torque.
