Narrative:

After performing a preflight inspection of my aircraft, an small aircraft, I have left from ffa, nc, for my home base hfe, va. At about 25 ft in flight, I had a complete electrical failure, so I descended to return to ffa by performing dead reckoning navigation in VFR conditions and away from any controled airspace. During my flight back to ffa, I had executed all possible procedures to lower my landing gear as recommended by aircraft manual. By having no visual or flight clues that my gear was down, I proceeded to land on the active runway at ffa. The aircraft touched down very soft and stopped on a distance about 120 to 150 ft on the runway. Then I had to secure the cockpit of the aircraft and walk away from the aircraft.
