Default Lateral Balance

Here's why it's important:

If one wing is heavier, the plane will tilt to that side. No problem right? Just drop that aileron a bit and she flies straight.

But now do a loop.

At the top of the loop the plane is inverted, so now the aileron that was dropped, is now raised pushing the already heavy wing down instead of lifting it.

So you will find your plane cork-screwing through loops.
