What is the relationship between angle of bank and rate of descent for aircraft?

I’m a pilot myself, and have been taught the aerodynamics of increasing lift (or total rotor thrust) when entering a turn to maintain level flight, otherwise the aircraft will descend. What I want to know, is exactly how much height will be lost for various angles of bank. I’m sure there must be a formula [...] http://bit.ly/mCNbqh
