Narrative:
The purpose of the flight was to obtain club instructor privileges at the ellington field aeronautical club. In order to obtain these privileges, I needed to get a sign-off from the club's chief pilot, mr. X. Prior to our flight, mr. X reviewed certain aircraft system with me. I had never flown this make/model aircraft before. While practicing airwork (slow flight, stalls, steep turns, etc.), mr. X pulled out the circuit breaker for the gear warning horn. During our second landing in a series of touch and goes, we landed gear-up. There were no injuries, and damage to the aircraft was not substantial.
