Narrative:

Runway 1 was the active runway I was to use, and in confused runway 1 with runway 10 on my directional gyro and accidentally landed on runway 9 just thinking my directional gyro was off a few degrees -- that I had the right runway. I was corrected by the ATC controller and I know the mistake I made and hope I am never dumb enough to do it again.
