Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

Got it. What happens to the g force acting on me as a pilot if I start
in straight and level, unaccelerated flight, and then I use down
elevator and enter a descent?

The net force increases, as it results from both that induced by gravity
(which is constant) and that induced by your acceleration torwards the center
of the turn. In a coordinated, level turn, the force vector will be normal to
the airframe, and so you will have the impression that you are climbing
initially; when you finish the turn you'll have the impression that you are
descending briefly. This assumes that you keep your head level with the
wings.
