Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

Hang on, let's keep things simple:
1. If I enter a coordinated turn, I experience an increase in Gs.
2. If I enter a descent, I experience a decrease in Gs.
If I do these two things at the same time, it is possible to enter a
descending turn without any change in Gs. Just as long as I
continously feed in enough down elevator to offset the increasing Gs
from the turn, the force on the airframe and me, the pilot, will stay
at 1 G.
Isn't there some sinister name for this
when it happens to a non-IFR pilot in a cloud?
Actually, the same name applies whether or not the pilot holds an
Instrument Rating.
