Is this a Complex Plane?

Comment????

If you just retracted the nose gear like a Vari-eze would that meet
the requirements for a retractable gear?

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!
