He's not the first and likely won't be the last! :)
Not that I'd recommend it at all, but as good ole' Bob Hoover has shown, a
nicely executed roll is just about exactly 1G through the entire
thing...even if you are pouring a cup of tea whilst doing it in an airplane
not designed for it. I believe Tex Johnson also caught a bit of flak for
doing the same thing in a 707!
Cheers,
Stein

Hey Linn, that's the "winding stick " technique I previously mentioned. I
assume you use the yard stick on edge. ;-)
