Or is it a 4G barrel roll?

I don't think you can intentionally create 4G sideways acceleration in an aircraft -thus the race car example is not valid either.

With a simple aileron roll none is.


In my examples given I stated I couldn't do snap rolls perfect. Since I'm pulling back on the stick and adding rudder. I'm guessing there is a bit of up added to my rolls.

With the aileron  rudder roll It looks more like a very tight barrel roll. So G is produced the most.

As to the 4g latterly , no idea.  But I bet 38's and hogs produce quite a bit with their rudder arrangements.

I get more annoyed with the infamous "spit flop"...you know, where the
300 mph spit 16 sees you 600 on his 6 and pulls what looks like 12Gs into
the pure vertical.

     I wouldn't mind it so much if from that moment on the spit view would
be stuck in max zoom forward due to the forehead being inbedded in the
reflector glass

If he is pulling +g ,wouldn't his head be pushed into the headrest?

It gets very annoying. I open fire earlier now, helps cut down on it. I've also seen it so much I can still estimate where to shoot and hit them while they do this. Sometimes.

I wish I could remember the pilot's name, but there was at least one ace who used the outside barrel roll to evade and reverse.   He described it as enduring the unendurable red out, then recovering to make the kill.

Stick stirring, however, is maddening.   It's all some guys have though...the good news is that you reel them in, even if they have a faster plane by centering on the stupid maneuvering and finally getting a shot.

Fine...Maybe the maneuver is easy to recover from, but the pilot disorientation isn't unless your sean tucker.
