Path of an airplane in a 1G roll

Do we have any who is a math whiz here? I want to find a formula to
calculate the position of an airplane throughout a 1G roll. The reason
I'm doing this is so I can build a "roll track" for a remote control car
so the car will alway have a positive g force on it to keep it on the
track. Anyone have any ideas? So far my attempts have have all come up
short. They don't pass what my college calculus instructor called the
"warm and fuzzy" test. I think it has been too long since I took those
classes.




There's only one way you can do a one g roll in an airplane, and that's a
slow roll. you'd have to be pretty good to do that, in fact, and it's not
what you're looing for anyway. You're talking about a positive G roll where
the carr will stay pinned to the track.

Basically, you start with a loop and then pull the ends of the track apart
to make a corkscrew. that should do it if your driving is up to it!
