No Mort I think you covered it pretty well.

Positive G - your butt is pressing in the seat
Zero G - your butt and your lap belt are not really doing any pressing
Negative G - your lap belt is holding you down - anything not held down
is now floating around - a good way to find lost screws, pens, rivets,
mints, and what your pax had for lunch


Ahhh...Negative G is when all that stuff you lost on the floor is now
stuck to the ceiling. (Including the dirt) And your sinuses plug up

Zero is when every thing floats around (including the dirt) And your
sinuses plug up. If it last very long you have to push to keep your
feet on the rudder pedals. The natural rest position for our arms and
legs in zero G is not the same as when sitting in a chair.
