Thanks for replies. I had meant to address the speed issue since I
knew the stall speed increased with bank. I also kept my speed higher
than normal in the turn because of that. I left it out of the

centered ball a reliable guide?

A reliable guide for what? It's an indicator of coordination, which
is always a good idea. Your airplane flies more efficiently.
