Joe, FWIW, I don't do barrel rolls in my Lancair because I've never taken instruction in aerobatics, however I was up yesterday with a friend (ex-Navy fighter pilot) who seldom goes out to bore holes without doing a B-roll or two (he flys a Falco). Right or left, the G's never go negative or even to zero. The main thing I notice is about two G's positive at the initial pull-up to the entry deck angle and maybe 1.5 at the recovery to level flight. Dan Schaefer
