Percy, a turn and bank is valuable if you ever blunder into a cloud, as I once did.  Of course, you don't have clouds in New Mexico, but we do in most of the rest of the country.  Also, instead of buying another one or throwing the old one away, Ed could get it reconditioned.

I wonder why you want a turn and bank, Ed. 

I can understand your CFI being addicted to such.  S/he probably has great pride in "centering the ball." 

How some ever.  If your `coupe does not have rudder peddles the T&B is what your plane is set for.

It is not perfect because the rudder-to-aileron coupling is a compromise over the air speed range.  It will be off at some speeds, but "good enough" over the range.

Upshot:  You can spend a lot of money and not get the desired result.

Hello out there! I need another needle and ball, instrument that is d;^). My CFI discovered that mine sucks (ie.not so good) while doing 45 degree angle turns.  I have the small venturi that spins it up but the instrument is of a 1946 vintage and I think it's a little tired.

Anyone have a decent used one for sale out there.
