I would definitely like to go up into some IMC, but I'm training in a DA20 which is made of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic. It has all the required equipment for IFR flight, but because it can't withstand a lightning strike it isn't certified to fly into IMC. I guess I will eventually have to convert over to a Cessna or Piper to do my instrument training.
