Default an exercise for sim pilots -- a 1 G roll

Tilting the 1G vector back, the nose comes up.


Remember: Whenever the vector is not normal to the surface of the
planet, its magnitude will vary from 1 G, because it must always
contain a 1 G component that is normal to the surface.

This is why you cannot enter a 90-degree bank in a coordinated turn,
for example.
