I did 100% of my IR and CFII in a DA20.

Other problems with the 20 on an IFR flight plan, especially around here is performance at high density altitudes. With MEAs starting at 11000 and going up, climbing that last few thousand feet is at about the rate of 1-300 FPM depending on the day.

The last time I tried it (hot day) we could not climb past 11000 at all and had to cancel IFR.
