I thought one of the reasons for the turn coordinator is that it won't tumble in
unusual attitudes where the AI will. I once tumbled my AI in IMC, and it was
not a pretty thing. Gave me a real bad sense of vertigo. At the time I had a
needle and ball rather than a TC, but that was the instrument that let me sort
things out. I think I would still want either a T&B or a TC in my primary scan.

Put it where the turn coordinator is located and the put the turn
coordinator off to the side somewhere.. the regs say you must have a turn
coordinator but do not say where the turn coordinator has to be on your
panel.
