AN SMA PLT HIT THE RWY WITH HIS PROP.

Narrative

I WAS CLRED TO LAND STRAIGHT IN. I WAS IN AN SMA. THE WINDS WERE 250 AT 21; I WAS LNDG RWY 23. SINCE THE WINDS WERE SO STRONG; I DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL I WAS CLOSER TO THE ARPT BEFORE I WOULD PUT THE GEAR DOWN. I USED ONLY 10 DEGS OF FLAPS AND CAME IN WITH PWR. I STARTED MY FLARE AND FLOATED DOWN THE RWY. DUE TO THE WIND; I CAME IN AT A HIGHER SPD. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TOUCH DOWN AND I REALIZED MY GEAR WAS STILL UP. I IMMEDIATELY INITIATED A GAR AND CAME BACK AROUND AND LANDED. I LOOKED AT THE PROP AND REALIZED THAT I WAS CLOSER TO THE GND THAN WHAT I THOUGHT. I BENT THE PROP A LITTLE AND SCRATCHED IT UP PRETTY GOOD. LUCKILY I DELIVERED THE AIRPLANE TO COLUMBUS TO GET AN OVERHAUL. IT NOW NEEDS A PROP OVERHAUL ALSO. THE AIRPLANE DOES HAVE A WARNING DEVICE; BUT ONLY WHEN THE PWR IS PULLED AND/OR THE FLAPS ARE 20 DEGS OR MORE. I CAME IN WITH PWR AND ONLY USED 10 DEGS FLAPS. I WAITED TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN TO SAVE SOME TIME. THEN WHEN I WAS CLOSER TO THE RWY; I WAS CONCENTRATING SO MUCH ON JUST GETTING THE PLANE ON THE GND I FORGOT ABOUT THE GEAR. THE CTLR DID WARN ME; BUT A LITTLE TOO LATE. HE WAS BUSY LNDG OTHER TFC ON ANOTHER RWY.
