So, yet another design and/or accessory question:

Is it a good idea to install roll spoilers and/or rudder to aileron bungees to provide a significant "ball centering" force sans good pedal practices?  Obviously, this makes cross controlling slips and skids harder but based on watching many sub-100 hr/year pilots flying high performance aircraft (like the IV...) I have to ask if artificial ball centering would be better than the alternative we use now.  I fly coordinated whether it's in a 152 or a MiG 15 because that's what I was taught to do.  But it's not instinctive, and I sure would like something to make it so regardless of type.

If we go for a mechanism that creates "feet on the floor" coordinated flight, yes, we have sacrificed a fundamental principle of good airmanship.  However, we would also pre-empt many stall-with-yaw departures.  Would this be a good trade for most pilots?  Please disqualify personal opinions and be objective if you are a CFI or 1000+ hr commercial type here;  this is a question about what would be best for us lesser mortals.
