when you turn there is an increased coning angle (a 60deg bank is equiv to 2g)

When the coning angle increases the rrpm increases due to the conservation of angular momentum. (Spin yourself round on that office chair you spend too much time in and pull your legs in and out)

As rrpm increases so does coefficient of lift 1/2rasVsquared

as V is increased by it's square the only other thing you can control is angle of attack so you reduce it.

if the wind you turn into is strong enough to make a negative effect on V even with the increased rrpm you will have to add pitch.

arbitrary numbers ....

at 100% tip speed 700km/h
at 103% tip speed 721km/h

may explain the increase in TQ

flying 360 at a constant angle of bank with just have the same effect as flying straight with gusts will it not...
