Default Aerodynamic Turning Model

Does anyone know of a good theoretical/mathematical turning model, preferably dynamic? One that takes into account drag, lift, aspect ratio, induced drag,…etc. I would like to optimize a wing for maximum turning performance.

I read an article years ago along these lines regarding selecting a pylon airfoil. I believe this article was in Model Airplane News, but it’s not in my limited MAN library.

A description of the key variables in turning performance would be of great help also. Greatly appreciated…
