Sounds good, Chuck.

 

By the way, a Directional Gyro is subject to precession.  A pilot should check it against the "Whiskey Compass" when in cruise.

The best bet I have heard on the list is from Syd.  Have your T&B reconditioned.  This you can do on your own hoof as it is an owner remove-repair-replace.

I was taught it when I got my private.........his reasoning was that you could do a 180 and fly out of a accidental cloud entry using just the turn & bank, altimeter, and a clock....no need for a AI or DG!, which for some reason he never trusted......maybe it was a exercise in partial panel flying.........who knows......

I believe timed turns are an IFR maneuver, Chuck.  Are you headed that way?

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.
