The Air Force instructs to use the turn needle to determine spin direction.
It is always reliable even when inverted. The axis of rotation goes between
the seats of a T-37 - which is similar to the LNC2 configuration.

In a spin (a real
spin, not a spiral) "the ball will deflect to the side of the airplane in
which the turn coordinator is located in the panel, away from the
airplanes's center of gravity, regardless of the direction of the spin."
I don't recall ever being told that before. That means if you spin in IMC
you can't use the ball to tell you which rudder to step on. That's
something to remember.
