Since 1903, we have continued to strive for more useability, safety, etc.,etc., in aircraft (engines, avionics, materials and so on) - much of it at the expense of "a fundamental principle of good airmanship", e.g., lettin' 'em screw up at will. I vote for an automatic ball-centering device, particularly at the stall. Even though I practice stall recovery, keeping a constant heading and glueing the ball in the center is like chewing gum and yodeling at the same time (for me, anyway). Dan Schaefer Dan Schaefer
