Most everyone agrees that keeping the coffee in the cup is

that the force felt by the pilot (or tea/coffee) can be 1 gee

roll. I'm hesitant to name names. ;-)
It has to vary during the roll, because the constant 1 G acceleration
due to gravity does not change. The net acceleration of the aircraft
must always be at least one G in consequence, and if the aircraft
begins a climb or ends a descent, it _must_ be greater than +1.0 G.
Bertie! He's doing it again!!!!
Doing what?
He's vaguely right, but only because he's pirating some **** he got off
the net.
I coudl get just as good a response from my pet polecat by taping a page
from Wikepedia to him.
