The pilot reported that, during landing he continued the descent into a normal flare, the airplane settled and touched down with the landing gear retracted. The airplane remained aligned with the centerline and slid to a stop resulting in substantial damage to the Underside of the fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no pre-accident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

- Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear before landing.
