Analysis
Plt stated he was making multiple communications on base leg, talking on company freq as well as UNICOM, while adjusting his pattern to accomodate slow traffic on the runway and maintaing acft handling in gusty wind conditions. Gear handle was selected to down positon and verified on checklist review; however, plt did not check gear down panel lights due to line-of-sight interference by right side control yoke and communications/traffic distractions. On power reduction for flare, lndg warning horn did not sound (relay connected to gear handle). Acft was landed wheels-up. Inspection revealed gear had partially extended when extension motor failed.
