AT ABOUT TOUCH-DOWN AND AS THE PILOT  STARTED TO INITIATE THE FLARE, THE RIGHT WING POPPED UP FROM A WIND GUST. THE PILOT TRIED TO LEVEL THE AIRCRAFT BUT THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT STARTED DOWN TOO FAST. THE PILOT ARRESTED THE DECENT AND AS HE DID THE NOSE CAME UP TOO HIGH. AIRCRAFT STARTED TO PORPOISE.  THE PILOT FELT AIRCRAFT WAS DESCENDING TOO FAST SO HE OPTED TO INITIATE A GO-AROUND. PILOT BELIEVES HE TOUCHED DOWN AT THIS POINT, BUT MAINTAINED THE GO AROUND. PILOT COORDINATED WITH TOWER FOR A GEAR CHECK. PILOT HAD GEAR HANDLE IN DOWN POSITION BUT DID NOT HAVE A GREEN LIGHT SHOWING THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND COULD NOT CONFIRM VISUALLY.
