Analysis
According to the pilot, he received landing information from the UNICOM operator for runway 7. He was advised to keep the pattern tight to accommodate heavy traffic at the airport. While expediting to get off the runway after landing, he reached to retract the wing flaps and inadvertently retracted the landing gear before the weight of the aircraft was completely settled on the gear.
