Default Student practices landing with gear up

Bad form following up to one's own post, but I forgot to add that if the
gear up incident in the Arrow was bad, consider the fate our Grumman
met. It's fixed gear and it got landed gear up. Or rather gear removed -
a botched landing resulted in two of the three gear legs being torn off
- go around from a downwind landing, and went through the hedge at the
end of the runway...
