Analysis
The pilot reported that during a landing at a private airport he performed a go-around due to coyotes crossing the runway. He retracted the landing gear for the go-around, however, did not remember to extend the gear again for the second landing approach. The airplane subsequently landed gear up. The bottom of the fuselage was substantially damaged. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
