Was wondering the same exact thing!

I think it is because Van doesn't think the RV is an IFR plane at all. He is a day VFR guy which is great. But for training purposes it would be nice to have for doing 45 degree turns and even steep turns.

Only one reason, dollars!! AI's are expensive in comparison to a turn and bank and I guess if they caught in IMC the turn coordinator can get them out. I also would guess that the MX-20 was given to them for the demonstrator for advertisement.
