Narrative:
Put out the wheels and checked out the window to make sure they were extended. I checked for green light. I thought it was green -- sometimes in bright light it is hard to see. When about to set down; pulled back throttle -- horn sounded. I checked again (this had happened before and one of the lock switches was bad but the wheels were locked). I was committed and landed on front and right wheel -- was afraid to lift off again since I was relatively slow. I kept it straight and off the left side until I felt I was slow enough to safely exit off into the grass. Very little damage was done.
