Maybe turn rate is better than pitch rate for sustained gee, but the rate plus TAS should give
good gees for short time frame.

The roll and pitch angles can get more accuracy, but all that does is account for the one gee from mother Earth.

a good rule of thumb equation I have used gives surprisingly good numbers for air combat maneuvers as God's gee is not as big a player at obscene bank and pitch angles

gee= v^2/turn radius and you get radius by using tas/rate

Edwards and Pax grads can contribute.
