If the aircraft has EVER been flown with the retract gear, it can NEVER be flown by a light sport pilot, even after locking the gear in the down position.
Same thing goes for clean stall speed over 51MPH, in-flight adjustable prop, cruise speed higher than 120kts at sea level on a standard day, or gross weigh higher than 1320# (1430# for float/amphibian). Unfortunate, but true. Doug
