Meaning that a descending turn will produce a smaller G force, correct?
hmmm, that's backwards. By pulling fewer G's, it'll be a descending turn
because there is insufficient amount of lift in the vertical direction.
Consider the vectors. Consider the portion of the lift vector that is
vertical.
If you bank, the vertical portion of the lift vector is decreased and you
will
descend (assuming level flight initially).
