I have heard a saying which goes something like this...

There are two kinds of pilots, those who have forgotten to deploy landing gear, and those who haven't yet.

There are two kinds of boaters, those who have forgotten the plug, and those who haven't yet.

But, don't worry. You'll only do it once. ;-)

And it doesn't matter what you fly, either - I forgot to do it on a hang glider once (the procedure is you unzip your pod and take your legs out of the sack). Problem is, you can't add power. I had about twenty feet to go before I realized the mistake. I got one leg out and still managed to pull off a three point landing, ha ha :). It was because I accidentally set down in a narrow gully, so my one leg reached the bottom and the basetube spanned the width about three feet up. You never forget twice, I hope.
