Default Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?

Dudley's right, you're wrong,. You're twisting the argument to suit
yourself, changeing the language and rules as you go...




No I'm not.
Reference my post from this morning.

I'm not talking about Bob's tea trick. Obvoiusly, positive Gs and
coordination is the key there. And I'm not sure I understand or agree with
your post. But I think it might be possible we having a terminology issue
here with the definition of a barrel roll.

I fully admit barrel rolls as defined by most pilots require more than
"exactly 1g", and usually a little negative, depending on the desired
flight
path. Also, doing a near 1g roll as I mentioned, more than 1g will be
required to set up the manuver, and return to level flight afterwards. But
I
disagree that it one needs to deviate much from 1g to roll the wings of an
aircraft 360 degrees if flying an arc. Depending on the arc and corkscrew
of
your flight path, you can roll with very little if not no stress on the
aircraft.
