Narrative:
Calm wind; no traffic; wheel up landing on amphibious floats. Minimal damage to float keels. Complete stop on runway. On CTAF ; I informed traffic in pattern of aircraft stopped on runway; was able to lower wheels and depart runway. Informed traffic of being clear of active runway. Chain of events: four earlier flights; event occurred upon landing during fifth flight of day; solo back to the hangar. Contributing factors: fatigue; solo; 8th landing of the day. Corrective action: will add additional flag next to airspeed indicator to remind pilot to confirm wheel position prior to landing. Will add wheel position check to multiple pre-landing check points. Will confirm wheel position on downwind or sooner.
