I have owned and flown this airplane for more than 40 years. [The cause of the incident was] fatigue perhaps. Landing after a 3 + hour leg in consistently moderate turbulence I missed the point on checklist where I would drop my gear. Very minimal airframe damage; neither wing tip even scratched; only my pride!
A general aviation pilot reported failing to extend the landing gear resulting in a gear up landing with minimal damage.
