Must be missing something here! Where does the 'centrifugal force' come from? The only forces are weight and the total aerodynamic reaction. The latter is at right angles to the wing and has two components - vertical, which in a level turn equals and opposes weight and horizontal towards the centre of the turn which is the centripetal force which makes the ac turn.
