I don't recall, but I don't think there was a high performance endorsement at the time I did my commercial, which required 10 hours of "complex" time. I think originally 180 hp was sufficient, as both Arrows and Mooneys came that way. Later I think 200 hp was required. It was NOT over 200 hp. When I got my private I could step right from C150 to C207, PA-32 or DHC 2 or DHC3 with no endorsement. (Beaver or Otter) that were tailwheel and 450 hp or ~600? hp. Insurance and common sense were the only restrictions. I was signed off, not as a formal endorsement for complex, never for tailwhell, HP etc. Grandfathered for all of that. Have flown PA-23 with pair of C4B5 250 hp engines and Mooney 231 with TSIO-360 (210 hp). Commercial and multi-engine rating in a 150 HP Apache or 160 hp Twin Comanche was enough to make you legally eligible to fly right seat in Part 121 airliner at that time.

Kelly (don't need no stinkin endorsement)

Yes I know you need sign-off for checkride. Checkride  gets you flight review and the training in right aircraft gets you HP and complex endorsements, all without having any wheels, much less ones that retract.

Kelly, I think there's a little confusion in your post. HP and complex are endorsements given by a cfi. If going for a new rating, e.g. single engine sea, you are expected to show up for the flight test already having the endorsement (if required).
I too am from the old days. But you have it backwards. 20 years ago there was no complex endorsement, only a high performance one. The latter applied to both over 200 HP and/or RG aircraft. You only needed one endorsement. So I got endorsed flying a 182, and was then go to go in an RG. Around 1995 when the rules changed, I was grandfathered in, so I have never gotten a complex endorsement although I may fly RG aircraft.

It seems to me that an EFIS could easily be tied to a switch, and read "gear up" or "gear down", depending on the 'gear switch'. And if you landed "gear up" the EFIS could put out horrible scrapping sounds. Close enough to the real thing?
