Your thousands of hours aside, this is simply an incorrect statement. A
barrel roll requires flying a loop and you can't fly a loop at 1 G. It
sounds like you are describing an aileron roll.


The descriptions from the aerobatic website, it appears, disagree with your
understanding of a barrel roll and aileron roll:

How so? It says that you pull from 0.5g at the minimum to between 2.5
and 3g at the maximum during a barrel roll. That is far different than
having a constant 1g acceleration as the OP said.
