As far as I have been able to determine, there is
no homebuilt aircraft in Europe (including UK)
which is certified to fly in IMC.  A few builders
here in Italy are working on getting
certification, and we have at least have obtained
a willingness on the part of the Italian civil
aviation authority to consider it.  

I remember reading about a similar problem in
Canada a few months ago, but can't recall where. 
In any case, I understood that the problem had
been solved there.  If anyone is flying IFR with
Canadian registry or knows of someone who is, I
would appreciate either information on the "FAR"
or other regulation under which the certification
was issued, or, in the second case, a contact
address.

Thanks in advance.
