Default Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.

No maneuver that involves a change in altitude can maintain exactly 1 G
along
the net acceleration vector (including perpendicular to the cockpit
floor).
This is not a myth, it's a fact.

The only roll you can perform that does not involve more than 1 G of net
acceleration is one that involves no change in altitude, such as a roll
precisely about the longitudinal axis. But no roll that maintains the net
acceleration vector perpendicular to the cockpit floor is in this
category.


God I love it when you so certainly prove your ignorance!!!!

You made my day!!!!
