N7558V contacted the runway with the landing gear in the retracted position, causing damage to the propeller, belly, and lower cowl skin. A post-incident gear retraction test was performed on 10/04/00. The landing gear functioned normally; however, it was discovered that the gear warning horn wire that attaches to a microswitch was broken.
