Narrative:
I was returning to home after a pleasure flight. As I entered the landing pattern and announced my position I heard 3 other aircraft in the pattern. I had difficulty locating one of these aircraft. After locating said aircraft I proceeded to land and completely overlooked the gear position. There were no injuries and very minor damage to the aircraft.
