Regardless of the radius and velocity, the vertical component of the lift force must balance the weight, M g.
L cos A = M g
where L is the lift force. It is perpendicular to the wing, not straight up.
To get the vertical component, you must know the "banking angle", A. You can get this from
L sin A = M V^2/R (Tilting of the plane creates a horizontal lift component to provide the centripetal force)
To get L alone, square both equations and add
L = M*sqrt[g^2 + V^4/R^2]
