Narrative:

After landing on runway 16 at redding municipal airport and while rolling at slow speed just prior to the exit at about the 5000' marker on runway 16, I reached for the flap switch to raise the flaps. At this time, I was also applying brakes in anticipation of turning off of runway 16 at the above mentioned exit. I inadvertently raised the landing gear switch instead, causing the landing gear to retract. The aircraft nose gear completely retracted, causing the aircraft to come to rest on its nose and the right tip tank. The main gear remained partially extended. The purpose of the flight was to bring the aircraft back to our redding base after completing a 100 hour inspection in our firm's shop in corvallis, or.
