Certainly not. If you think you cannot roll the wings of an aircraft, and
remain in total control of the g loading, you are totally incorrect.

Not sure what you mean here as your comment refers to me or what I have
said, but I can assure you that you most certainly CAN roll an airplane
and maintain complete control of the g. If a pilot can't do this, I would
strongly suggest that rolling the airplane not be attempted :-)

If you want to argue the proper name for this manuver is not a barrel
roll,
that's another topic, and I would agree. Many people incorrectly refer to
all rolls as barrel rolls. But then we would just be nit picking,
wouldn't
we.

Any roll performed by an airplane through 3 dimensional space is a barrel
roll by definition.
Not sure again exactly what you mean by your comment.

Can you roll the wings of an aircraft 360 and hold 0g? How about 1g? How
about -1g?

I'm beginning to get this awful feeling that you and I just might not
be made for each other :-))
Let's just call it a day shall we. I really have no problem at all
allowing you to think I'm not as smart about aerobatics as you are and
I'm afraid we're getting fairly close to where I usually get paid for
this stuff. :-)
I have enjoyed our time together. Take care.
