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)."


Hey, asshole- how about rolls on the vertical, either up or down? The plane
is climbing or descending, while maintaining one g througout. There is no
change in the g forces associated with the roll.
