Hi,

probably not. I would not advice to remove the step size control.
Typical a inital value solver with constant steps take more steps
and accumulate more rounding errors than a solver with stepsize control.

You can still use the InterpolationFunction[] that comes out form
NDSolve[]
to create a table of data with constant increment.

Or you may have a look into the ProgrammingInMathematica`RungeKutta.m
package that make a constant stepsize integration.
