?? G force doesn't make you maintain level flight. As for the rest of your post no idea what you are saying.
Nothing ''makes'' one maintain level flight. OTOH, should one (pilot) decide to maintain level flight then that someone has to follow the laws of nature such as lift equal to weight.
To produce lift in subsonic convergence airflow, one has to provide the airflow with needed pressure variations to attain the needed forces. Given a wing in a 60° bank relative to earth, at I G loading will be 1 G short of the required aerodynamic force required to maintain level flight.

Should you not understand these basic lift/drag/etc. aerodynamic truths, I certainly agree that you would have absolutely NO IDEA of what I was/am saying.
This is why I preach so much about the greatness of light weight airframes, the lower the wing loading is, the less one must worry about those nasty tip stalls, on the stuff I build and fly for the most part there is no tip stall characteristics to think about at all; so I am left to just play and have fun, but many times when ever I fly somebody else’s airplane especially warbirds; I must manage my available energy throughout the flight envelope to keep things on the ball. For this very reason I believe warbird pilots are better pilots than most 3D pilots, warbird guys deal with these issues due to higher wing loadings all the time, and the ones that don't manage the energy very well... Crash and burn.
