Description
#### Issue details
In ArduPlane/Attitude.cpp where i found an error about calculation of aerodynamic_load_factor，which represents the ratio of aircraft lift and itself weight, so the fomular should be " aerodynamic_load_factor = 1.0f / cosf(radians(demanded_roll))" rather than " aerodynamic_load_factor = 1.0f / safe_sqrt(cosf(radians(demanded_roll)))".
#### Version
ArduPlane 3.8.0
#### Platform

#### Airframe type
