After takeoff, about 300 to 400 feet above ground level, the pilot raised the gear lever and the green landing gear down annunciator light remained illuminated. He then cycled the gear lever to the down position and returned to land to check the gear. Upon touchdown, the right main landing gear retracted. The aircraft skidded down the runway and turned 180 degrees to the left, remaining on the runway. The right main hydraulic landing gear actuator (P/N 1281000-1, S/N 1039) was sent to the NTSB's Materials Laboratory for examination. A second hydraulic actuator (P/N 1281000-1, S/N 1790) that received damage due to overstressing caused by an off airport landing was sent to the laboratory for comparison. Both hydraulic actuator housing assemblies exhibited similar longitudinal fractures in their respective housings. Both of the housings were bulged outward near the midpoint of the longitudinal fracture. Examination of the fractures with the aid of a scanning electron microscope revealed that the fracture characteristics were typical of an overstress separation. Neither examples exhibited evidence of progressive cracking.
