Summary:
As only a local flight had been planned and the weather was hot, the pilot had not taken a headset and flew with the cockpit quarter window open. The loudspeaker was used to maintain a listening watch on a local frequency. Following a normal approach to the grass strip, the aircraft settled onto its belly. The pilot then became aware that the landing gear warning horn was sounding and that he had omitted to lower the landing gear.
