I was on a maintenance flight around and near the airport checking oil temperature. I intended to land and leave for work. I made my approach and all seemed normal. On short final I realized I was too fast. I pulled back the power and leveled off to bleed off airspeed. I touched down and the prop struck the runway shearing both blades. I then realized I had made a wheels up landing. The aircraft came to rest on the right side of the runway about 1800' down. I cut all switches and began to exit. Wayne molloy of skypark aviation responded to the scene and asked if I were all right. I told him I was fine. I was due to leave for work and jeff (janik A&P mechanic at the airport) said they would get the aircraft off the runway and back to my hangar. I called back from home and jeff said that they put a tube in the front tire and towed it to my hangar."
