It would still be hanging in front of / behind the centre of mass, if it wasn't hanging out to the sides. The yaw inertia doesn't change (unless you fit the stick vertically!)
Hold the pack in your hand, pointing side to side, then twist it from side to side (yaw) as though steering the car. Now hold it pointing straight ahead and do the same thing... no difference in the inertia.
As I said, the only effect (apart from front:rear weight distribution) is that you'll swap some roll inertia for pitch inertia.
If you're not sure about yaw, roll and pitch: Google it!
