Not quite true. Start a coordinated turn, decending at the same time
and you can keep the bathroom scale you're sitting on reading your
weight. At 45 degrees of back I think you'll find the airplane has to
be accelerating downward too, so the .707 horizontal G and the .707
vertical G combine to provide 1 G into the pilot's seat. At inverted,
you'll have to pull back pretty hard on the yoke to provide a relative
to the pilot upward acceleration of 64.4 f/sec*2 to keep pasted into
the seat at 1 g.
