Because you're not maintaining level
flight in the 60 deg banks, you're not really pulling any Gs in the
banks either.

Unless something has changed since the last time I studied Newtonian
physics, this statement can't be right. If you're banked 60 degrees
and the ball's centered, you *must* be either pulling 2 G's or
accelerating vertically (i.e., picking up airspeed). There is no
other possibility (and this kind of misunderstanding can be very
dangerous in the pattern).
