Sorry, Brian,

The G-Cube has to be near-level.  If you place it nose down
neither accelerometer is aligned to longitudinal g's, and
hence we'll get no meaningful readings for that.  (Instead
you'd get z-pole, or vertical g's as they differ from earth
gravity.  Interesting, but not terribly useful.)

Remember the G-Cube should ideally be within 2 degrees of
level, but in no case further than 8 degrees from level.
