Since when is instrument instruction done in T-34?  I damn sure never had that.  I got 25 hrs primary training and went on to basic and advanced where I got instrument trained.

Then again, navy and marine pilots do no only their IFR but also basic training in a T-34 Charlie – which slightly outperforms a L-IV.  Its all a matter pre-planning.

OK guys, I got my IFR in a C-172. In reviewing the comments, I think that there is a middle ground. The L-IV is a bit fast for learning. You need to start slow, and get the fundamentals down. Then, once you have the procedures learned, you can go faster.

To put it all together, I think that you should learn in a slow airplane. Then re-train in the fast glass. That way, you get the most possible benefit. You learn at an appropriate pace to your level of skill. Then you apply it to the plane you will use.
