Kinda sounds like you are after the load factor? In that case it is a simple function of AoB, (1/cosAoB), hence 60 deg turn equals 2g. However I would not expect you to be pulling a load of g lifting a load. As for aerodynamic forces then there is no simple formula. Most people nowadays use a load cell for loads, that would make your life a lot easier.
