If you'd like a pictorial answer to your question go to http://www.rv-4.de/

then to videos and trudelerprobung(4.3MB).

There's a big g-meter top right in the panel - it goes a bit below 1 as you stall and enter, oscillates about 1 as the spin settles and then goes up, of course, as you pull out of the dive.

Edited to add - you'll also experience lateral g-forces which don't show up on the g-meter
