I searched the group(s) and everyone has an opinion but nobody seems to
have a definition for "complex" that gives a yes or no answer to the
question of "is this a complex aircraft"

don't search the newsgroups, but look at the regulations; in
particular 14 CFR 61.31(e)(1); it has to have a retractable
landing gear, flaps and controllable pitch propeller except
in the case of a seaplane (where only flaps and a controllable
pitch propeller);

so the aircraft you described is not complex.

to tie this one into other discussions in this newsgroup,
always refer to the scriptures!
