Default IFR Accelerated Training in my COZY MKIV

Folks:

So after a year of dithering, I finally got my Instrument Ticket by
taking an accelerated instrument training course with Bill Zaleski, out
of Schenectady, NY. I've written up my experiences at:

http://www.cozybuilders.org/2005_Instrument_Training/

Bill taught me in MY experimental airplane, in ACTUAL conditions. It was
a great experience. The examiner also gave me the checkride in MY
experimental airplane (although on a clear blue VFR day).

All feedback, questions, comments and flames are welcome! :-).

Marc,
Thank you for documenting your IFR training experience. We flew to
Schenecdaty last Sunday to check out Bill's program and took a demo
flight. He told us a bit about your training and showed a picture of
your plane.
We had also scheduled a 'demo' session with Doug Stewart (East Coast
IFR Training trip - based in Columbia, NY) later this month for
comparison purpose. We have had only limited experience with both
instructors but are impressed by both. I am confident that we will get
our ratings and good training from either of them. The East Coast trip
will give us mountain flying and IFR cross country experience but will
not allow as much approach practices as from one location. We will
weigh all the pros/cons and make a decision by the end of the month.
I have bookmarked your website and will 'repeat' your flying
experience in flight simulations to have a feel of the training pace.
Thank you again.
Hai Longworth
