WHILE ON AN ON-DEMAND AIR-TAXI FLIGHT THE PILOT NOTED THAT AT TOUCHDOWN THE RT MAIN GEAR WAS COLLAPSING. HE EXECUTED A GO-AROUND AND ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE GEAR MANUALLY, BUT COULD NOT. THE PILOT THEN SHUT DOWN THE RIGHT ENGINE AND FEATHERED THE RIGHT PROPELLER AND LANDED. THE RIGHT GEAR COLLAPSED UPON LANDING ROLL. EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT THE ADJUSTABLE SCREW ON THE DOWNLOCK BRACE FAILED IN BENDING OVERLOAD.
