Ah, but if you are capable of the task, you can apply some classical
physics to the information provided in the archive and do the analysis
yourself.

Acceleration is a change in velocity. Climbing from the ground (or
from any constant altitude) is a change in vertical velocity (since
the initial rate of climb is zero). Therefore climbing involves
acceleration. G forces are nothing more than acceleration. Therefore
climbing changes G forces. QED.

You are correct, but for typical climbing and decending the amount of G away
from 1 is so small that as a pilot it is still "1". Entering a climb or a
decent moves a G meter such a small amount, you can't see the needle move
and you can't feel the small difference in the seat of your pants. There
are small G changes in a barrel roll, but not enough to really feel. As a
pilot, the manuever is called "1 G". Keep in mind this is in comparison
with other aerobatic manuevers that go to routinely 3 to 10 Gs.
