IIRC (Ron, back me up on this?) dual-position gear are permitted for

Is that guy landing that thing "wheels up" on the grass or did he
retract them that early in the takeoff?


Retractable landing gear are not permitted on Light Sport Aircraft.

Supposedly the FAA has approved at least one exemption for
an amphiban and may extend that to all amphibians.

Otherwise, someone needs to work on designs for retractable
floats...

Another point of contention was the distinction between
retractible and in-flight repositionable gear.
