Narrative:

Failure to deploy landing gear; which resulted in a gear up landing. What really caused the problem was that my flight school put me in a complex plane for my night [cross-country] and I had never flown one before. I have 30 hours in fixed gear planes and; as a new student; I don't have enough experience to realize beforehand that I wasn't ready for this type of plane and hadn't received the training required to help me be ready for this. My instructor was handling the gear; but got distracted and forgot to deploy the gear.
