WHILE ON A PERSONAL FLT, THE ACFT LANDED GEAR UP. THE PLT STATED THAT HE LOWERED IT. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE GEAR WARNING HORN WAS INOPERATIVE. OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE LANDING GEAR REVEALED NO DISCREPANCIES EXCEPT FOR AN IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED WARNING HORN & AUTOMATIC GEAR EXTENSION SYSTEM WHICH LOWERS THE GEAR WHEN THE AIRSPEED IS BELOW 120 MPH & THE THROTTLE IS REDUCED BELOW 18-20' MANIFOLD PRESSURE. THE PLT STATED THAT THE FIRST INDICATION HE HAD THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN WAS SEEING THE TIP OF THE PROP CURL UP. HE SAID THAT THE LANDING GEAR MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS 'TRIPPED'.
