Narrative:

Arriving at merritt island airport (coi), I entered a left downwind to runway 11. WX was VFR. There were 4 aircraft in the pattern and a C130 passing going to patrick AFB. My aircraft was considerably faster than the other aircraft in the pattern and I was concentrating a great deal on separation. 123.05 is the frequency at coi as it is in many uncontrolled airports in the area. 2 aircraft were bleeding through from other airports and 4 aircraft locally kept the airways quite busy. Everything was fine as I lined up on final. I then landed gear up. I did not hear the gear horn. Damage was minimal and no one was hurt. I am putting a ground proximity gear warning in the aircraft.
