WHILE ON A MAINTENANCE TEST HOP AFTER ANNUAL INSPECTION, THE PILOT FAILED TO INSURE THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS EXTENDED BEFORE TOUCHDOWN. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE GEAR HANDLE WAS PLACED IN THE GEAR DOWN POSITION, AND THAT NO GEAR WARNING HORN SOUNDED DURING THE GEAR UP LANDING. THE GEAR WAS EXAMINED AND CYCLED AFTER THE ACCIDENT, AND FOUND TO OPERATE NORMALLY IN ALL PHASES OF OPERATION. GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHTS ALSO FUNCTIONED NORMALLY, HOWEVER THE GEAR WARNING HORN WAS UNRELIABLE.
