Sorry it doesn’t work. The correct force angle is always directly inwards towards the center of the circle the craft is tracing, and that force would need to be 1 G. Think of it as swinging a ball on a string—the ball is the craft, and the force on the string is your thrust force. If you can generate 1 G of force (which is far beyond the capabilities of an ion engine), you’d be better off accelerating directly toward your destination and doing the “flip and burn” half way.
