I had a turn & bank in my 415-C... the gyro was worn out - the needle 
kind of flicked side to side like the pendulum of a clock (but 
upside-down, of course) and the ball went nowhere (it's an Ercoupe w/o 
peddles), so I put in an artificial horizon and a directional gyro (the 
manifold pressure gauge - a left-over from when it had a Beech 
adjustable prop decades ago - went, too).  With the compass, DG, and 
two Garmin 96Cs, I have four instruments for telling heading from the 
other way and one to tell me which side is up and so four to tell me if 
I'm headed up or down.  I hope I've got it covered.  Soon to have two 
glove box doors for the art deco look as well.
