''A level 45 degree turn has a loading of 1.41 G's, or a level 60 degree turn - 2 G's''
G force is a function of speed and turn radius, not bank angle. I can make a turn banked at 45 degrees and have 1 G or 9 Gs depending speed. A change in direction is an acceleration, and that is then divided by 9.8 to get the factor of normal gravity you feel.
To get turn radius, you need either degrees per second and speed, RPM, or the arc length of the turn.
That is really what Mr. Steve said. LEVEL TURN he did say. You SIR are a tad short on your lift and YOU may need some extra to stay in the air!
Mr. Steve used an example of G - Force required to maintain level flight in a specific bank angle. After 20,000+/- hours and 41 years, Well HECK, even I was dang nye almost getting the knack of it.
