Narrative:
Prior to entering mem class 'B' airspace, I contacted mem approach and reported my intentions on landing at west memphis. Approximately 5 mi southwest of west memphis, I again contacted west memphis approach indicating that I had the airport in sight. I then contacted west memphis unicom and notified west memphis traffic of my intentions of a straight-in approach on runway 35. At this time I was approximately 2500 ft MSL. I then landed at west memphis with full flaps, power off and apparently forgot to lower the landing gear prior to landing. No injuries occurred during the landing, the plane was promptly jacked up, gear extended and pulled off the runway. The airplane is currently stored at FBO at west memphis airport.
