I'm flying an L-39 with that same attitude indicator, although I only fly it VFR. Yes, it is terrible.
Believe me, there is no comparison between that ADI and the speed tape. Having flown tapes both ways, I find the "upside down way" to actually be more intuitive.
But, I suppose we get used to whatever we have.
